摘要

马利筋(Asclepias ssp.)在北方大平原地区的数量已经下降了几十年,主要原因是农业转型。黑脉金斑蝶(Danaus plexippus)依赖马利筋作为其幼虫的寄主植物,在过去的几十年里,北美的黑脉金斑蝶数量也在下降。在通过恢复马利筋种群来保护帝王蝶的持续努力中,必须更好地了解帝王蝶对特定马利筋的关系和偏好。本研究的目的是研究黑脉金斑蝶对18种原产于北方大平原的乳草的产卵偏好。在一个普通的花园地块上,采用随机分组设计种植了18种马利筋,并在整个生长季节评估了帝王蝶卵和幼虫的存在。另外还收集了植物形态特征的数据,以研究产卵的帝王蝶是否更喜欢某些性状。以每一种植物上发现的卵和幼虫总数作为响应变量,确定了种间黑脉金斑蝶的产卵偏好。在所有三年的数据收集中,帝王蝶在Asclepias incarnata上产卵最多,其次是2022年的Asclepias syriaca、Asclepias speciosa和Asclepias sullivantii,以及2023年的A. syriaca、A. sullivantii和Asclepias subverticillata。产卵并不一定与幼虫的存在相关,这表明一些物种的存活率比其他物种高,例如a . subverticillata,可能是帝王蝶的生态陷阱,a . sullivantii的幼虫与卵的比例更高,表明生存的机会更好。我们的研究地点并没有为每一种马利筋提供理想的生长条件,所以像Asclepias exaltata这样的物种可能对不同地点的帝王蝶更有吸引力。

Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) oviposition preference on native milkweeds (Asclepias) of the northern Great Plains

Milkweed (Asclepias ssp.) has faced population declines in the Northern Great Plains for several decades due primarily to agricultural conversion. Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus), which rely on milkweed as the host plant for their larva, have also declined in population throughout the past several decades in North America. Amidst ongoing efforts to protect the monarch butterfly by restoring milkweed populations, the relationship and preferences that monarchs may have for specific milkweed must be better understood. The objective of this study was to investigate monarch oviposition preferences on 18 species of milkweed native to the Northern Great Plains. In a common garden plot, 18 species of milkweed were planted in a randomized block design and assessed throughout the growing season for the presence of monarch eggs and larva. Additional data were collected on plant morphological characteristics to examine whether ovipositing monarchs preferred certain traits over others. The total number of eggs and larva found on plants within each species were used as response variables to determine monarch oviposition preference between species. Monarchs laid the most eggs on Asclepias incarnata throughout all three years of data collection, followed by Asclepias syriaca, Asclepias speciosa, and Asclepias sullivantii in 2022 and A. syriaca, A. sullivantii, and Asclepias subverticillata in 2023. Oviposition did not necessarily correlate to larval presence, suggesting higher survival rates on some species than others, such as A. subverticillata, which may serve as an ecological trap for monarchs, and A. sullivantii, which had a higher ratio of larvae to eggs, suggesting better chances of survival. Our site did not provide ideal conditions for every species of milkweed in this study, so species such as Asclepias exaltata may be more appealing to monarchs in different locations.

期刊介绍: The scope of Ecosphere is as broad as the science of ecology itself. The journal welcomes submissions from all sub-disciplines of ecological science, as well as interdisciplinary studies relating to ecology. The journal''s goal is to provide a rapid-publication, online-only, open-access alternative to ESA''s other journals, while maintaining the rigorous standards of peer review for which ESA publications are renowned.
