Abstract

The aim of this study was to reveal the diversity and host interactions of aphids on different plant communities in an urban ecosystem in the northwest of Türkiye between April and October from 2021 to 2022. From the sampling, 55 aphids from 26 genera in the family Aphididae (Hemiptera) on 65 host plant of 26 families were determined. From the aphids, Capitophorus archangelskii Nevsky, 1928 and Uroleucon leontodontis (Hille Ris Lambers, 1939) are found to be new to the aphid fauna of Türkiye. In the urban ecosystem, 108 interactions between aphids and hosts, including the new records of the interactions for Türkiye were identified on different plant communities. Also, we revealed the biodiversity of aphids and hosts interactions in various plant communities in the urban ecosystem. Our results showed that the species richness and abundance of aphids were significantly higher on the herbaceous plants compared to other communities. Also, interactions between aphids and their hosts in the herbaceous plants were more diverse than the trees and shrubs. Accordingly, the results of our study revealed that biodiversity of interactions between aphids and their hosts was higher on the herbaceous plants compared to other plant communities in the urban ecosystem.

Özet

Bu çalışmada 2021 ve 2022 yıllarında Nisan ve Ekim ayları arasında kuzeybatı Türkiye’de bir kentsel ekosistemde farklı bitki komüniteleri üzerindeki afitlerin çeşitliliği ve konukçu etkileşimlerinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Örneklemelerin sonucunda 26 familyaya bağlı 65 konukçu bitki üzerinde Aphididae (Hemiptera) familyasından 26 cinse bağlı 55 afit tespit edilmiştir. Afitlerden, Capitophorus archangelskii Nevsky, 1928 ve Uroleucon leontodontis (Hille Ris Lambers, 1939) Türkiye afit faunası için yeni kayıtlardır. Kentsel ekosistemde, farklı konukçu bitki komüniteleri üzerinden Türkiye için yeni etkileşim kayıtlarını da içeren afitler ve konukçu bitkileri arasında 108 etkileşim tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, kentsel bir ekosistemdeki farklı bitki komüniteleri üzerindeki hem afitlerin hem de afit-konukçu etkileşimlerinin biyoçeşitlilik değerleri de ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Sonuçlarımız, afitlerin tür zenginliği ve bolluğunun yabancı otlar üzerinde diğer bitki komünitelerine kıyasla önemli ölçüde daha yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir. Benzer şekilde, yabancıotlar üzerindeki afit-konukçu etkileşimleri de ağaçlar ve çalılar üzerinde olduğundan daha fazla çeşitlilik göstermiştir. Bu doğrultuda, çalışmamızın sonuçları kentsel bir ekosistemde yabancıotlar üzerindeki afitlere ve konukçuları arasındaki etkileşimlerin biyoçeşitliliğinin diğer bitki kominitelerine göre daha yüksek olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
