Abstract

Among the three species of potential hosts for Phoracantha semipunctata (F.) (Eucalyptus propinqua Deane and Maiden, Eucalyptus maculata Hook., and Angophora costata (Gaertner) Britten (all Myrtaceae)) tested in southeast Queensland, there were no differences in number of beetle galleries initiated by neonate larvae, larval mortality, larval survivorship, or parasitism rates. The larvae that survived to pupation in E. maculata produced significantly larger galleries, indicating larger larval size, than did larvae in either of the other two host species tested. There were no differences in the size of parasitized larvae among the three species of potential hosts. The results suggest that there were differences among species in host suitability for larval development but that females were either not able to distinguish those differences during oviposition or the selection for discrimination was not strong relative to the associated potential ecological costs.

Résumé

Chez les trois espèces d’hôtes potentiels de Phoracantha semipunctata (F.), (Eucalyptus propinqua Deane et Maiden, Eucalyptus maculata Hook, et Angophora costata (Gaertner) Britten (tous trois des Myrtaceae)) testées dans le sud-est du Queensland, le nombre de tunnels creusés par les larves neonates, la mortalité larvaire, la survie des larves et les taux de parasitisme ne différaient pas. Le larves qui ont survécu jusqu’à la nymphose chez E. maculata ont creusé des tunnels plus grands que les larves vivant sur les deux autres espèces-hôtes, ce qui reflète leur taille plus grande. La taille des larves parasitées était la même chez les trois espèces d’hôtes. Ces résultats indiquent qu’il existe bel et bien des différences entre les espèces hôtes quant à leur capacité d’assurer le développement des larves, mais les femelles sont incapables de distinguer ces différences au moment de la ponte, ou alors la sélection qui favorise la discrimination est faible comparativement aux coûts écologiques potentiels associés.
