HYMENOPTERA COMMUNITY ASSOCIATED WITH HORTICULTURAL AGROECOSYSTEMS IN CERRO PUNTA, CHIRIQUI, PANAMA

Order Hymenoptera is one of the most diverse groups of insects, performing multiple functions in the ecosystem. However, they are also vulnerable to the action of synthetic pesticides frequently used in potato, onion and leafy vegetable crops in Cerro Punta, Tierras Altas District, Chiriqui Province, Panama. The aim of this study was to identify the Hymenoptera community associated with these horticultural agroecosystems. For this, as evaluation proposal periodic field trips were made from July 2019 to January 2023, until completing the sighting of 100 Hymenoptera specimens. Plant species associated with these taxa were recorded and a linear regression analysis was performed between the number of associated plant species and the number of sightings per taxon. The Simpson index was applied to estimate the Hymenoptera diversity. According to the results, a total of 14 taxa were found, predominantly Apis mellifera L. (Apidae) (36%), followed by genera Cryptanura (Ichneumonidae) (10%) and Pepsis (Pompilidae) (8%); the presence of the genus Pseudometoca (Mutillidae) was recorded for the first time in Cerro Punta and more than 17 plant species associated with Hymenoptera were found. The linear regression analysis had a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.88 and the Simpson diversity index was 0.84. In conclusion, the Hymenoptera community associated with horticultural crops in Cerro Punta is made up of at least 14 taxa related to more than 17 plant species, and A. mellifera was the dominant species.

El Orden Hymenoptera es uno de los grupos más diversos de insectos, desempeñando múltiples funciones en el ecosistema. Sin embargo, también son vulnerables a la acción de plaguicidas de síntesis utilizados frecuentemente en cultivos de papa, cebolla y hortalizas de hoja en Cerro Punta, distrito de Tierras Altas, provincia de Chiriquí, Panamá. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar la comunidad de Hymenoptera asociados a estos agroecosistemas hortícolas. Para ello, como propuesta de evaluación se realizaron recorridos periódicos en campo desde julio de 2019 hasta enero de 2023, hasta completar el avistamiento de 100 especímenes de Hymenoptera. Se registraron las especies vegetales asociadas a estos taxa y se realizó un análisis de regresión lineal entre el número de especies de plantas asociadas y el número de avistamientos por taxón. Se aplicó el índice de Simpson, para estimar la diversidad de Hymenoptera. Según los resultados, se encontró un total de 14 taxa, predominando Apis mellifera L. (Apidae) (36%), seguida de los géneros Cryptanura (Ichneumonidae) (10%) y Pepsis (Pompilidae) (8%); se registró por primera vez en Cerro Punta la presencia del género Pseudometoca (Mutillidae) y se encontraron más de 17 especies vegetales asociadas a Hymenoptera. El análisis de regresión lineal tuvo un coeficiente de determinación (R2) de 0,88 y el índice de diversidad de Simpson fue de 0,84. En conclusión, la comunidad de Hymenoptera asociada a cultivos hortícolas en Cerro Punta está constituida por al menos 14 taxa relacionadas con más de 17 especies vegetales y A. mellifera fue la especie dominante.
