Bark and ambrosia beetles are a
diverse group that causes widespread mortality of deciduous and
coniferous trees. The present study aimed to investigate the species
compositions and richnesses of bark and ambrosia beetles in six species
of
plant hosts in East Java, Indonesia. Bark and ambrosia beetles were
sampled using bottle traps baited with ethanol. Studies were conducted
at two sites of monoculture and polyculture systems for each host plant
species. At each site, 20 ethanol-baited traps were deployed on a
linear transect along the forest. Six host tree species examined were
used, namely Tectona grandis
(Teak), Syzygium aromaticum
(Clove), Swietenia mahagoni
(Mahogany), Pinus merkusii (Sumatran Pine), Paraserianthes falcataria (Moluccan
Albizia), and Mangifera indica
(Mango). The data were analyzed using R software. A total of 4823
beetles were collected, representing 26 ambrosia beetle and eight bark
beetle species. The abundance of bark and ambrosia beetles was
significantly higher at the sites of
T. grandis (F = 13.88, P
<
0.01). Xylosandrus crassiusculus
showed a strong attraction to the
ethanol lure and was the dominant beetle species (50.65% of the total
number of individuals). The Shannon-Wiener diversity index of all
beetles captured in this study was the highest in the S. mahogany
polyculture (2.28) and the lowest in the T. grandis polyculture (0.47).
According to Bray-Curtis analysis, the T. grandis monoculture and T.
grandis polyculture had a high similarity value of bark and
ambrosia
beetle species compositions (91% similar). There were no significant
differences between two cultural systems of host plants in the
compositions of bark and ambrosia beetle species (ANOSIM, R = 0.1537, P
= 0.961).
Key words: Ambrosia beetles,
Cultural system, Ethanol-baited, Species richness, NMDS.
