“…Photoperiod was the variable with the highest correlation values being the most significant in the Chrysomelidae seasonality in most sites, corroborating the earlier findings of Linzmeier & Ribeiro-Costa (2008). Another variable correlated with the seasonal pattern was the temperature.…”

“…At all sites, the Chrysomelidae showed a marked seasonal pattern with the largest captures in spring and/or summer and smallest in winter as reported earlier by Linzmeier & Ribeiro-Costa (2008). This pattern has also been observed for several groups of insects sampled at these same sites as Lepidoptera, Trichoptera, Diptera (Muscidae and Syrphidae) (Marinoni & Dutra 1996, Almeida & Marinoni 2000, Marinoni & Bonatto 2002, Costacurta et al 2003.…”

“…Therefore, we aimed to test the hypothesis that even at different sites, the peak abundances of Chrysomelidae occur in the same seasons recorded by Linzmeier & Ribeiro-Costa (2008). It was also our aim to test whether photoperiod and temperature are the abiotic factors that most strongly influence the seasonality of Chrysomelidae at different sites.…”

“…Among the abiotic variables, photoperiod, temperature and rainfall are the main factors that act directly on species seasonal activity, besides determining other characteristics that affect the survival of insects, such as food availability (Wolda 1978a, 1988, Linzmeier & Ribeiro-Costa 2008. The biotic variables are more complex and difficult to determine because the organisms interact (e.g., parasitism, predation and competition) and the effects of these interactions are dynamic (Danks 2007).…”

“…The only study was conducted by Linzmeier & Ribeiro-Costa (2008), who reported at one site, Ponta Grossa, Paraná, the highest abundances of Chrysomelidae in the spring and summer, probably because of greater food availability and quality. Moreover the authors indicated photoperiod and temperature as the abiotic factors that most influenced the Chrysomelidae seasonal pattern.…”

Abstract:The aim of this paper was to describe the seasonal patterns of Chrysomelidae and of its most abundant species at eight sites in different geomorphological and floristic regions in the state of Paraná, southern Brazil. Samples with Malaise traps, from August 1986 to July 1988 were performed. The Chrysomelidae showed seasonal patterns with the highest abundance in the spring and/or summer at all sites, but with variations in the months of highest captures. Photoperiod was the variable that most influenced the seasonality of Chrysomelidae, and along with temperature and relative humidity, determined most of the seasonal patterns of the family at the different sites. Some dominant species of Chrysomelidae showed different seasonal pattern compared to the family level. A better knowledge of the seasonal distribution patterns of these species will only be possible when their life history, such as host plants and behavior, was better understood. Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever os padrões de sazonalidade de Chrysomelidae e de suas espécies dominantes, capturadas em oito locais de diferentes regiões geomorfológicas e florísticas do estado do Paraná, sul do Brasil. As coletas foram realizadas com armadilha Malaise de agosto/1986 a julho/1988. Chrysomelidae apresentou padrão sazonal com picos de abundância na primavera e/ou verão em todos os locais, mas com variações quanto aos meses de maior captura. O fotoperíodo foi a variável com maior influência na sazonalidade de Chrysomelidae e juntamente com a temperatura e umidade relativa, determinaram a maioria dos padrões sazonais da família nos diferentes locais. Algumas das espécies dominantes de Chrysomelidae apresentaram padrão sazonal distinto do observado para a família. O entendimento dos padrões de distribuição das espécies de Chrysomelidae somente será possível quando informações sobre a história de vida, como plantas hospedeiras e comportamento, forem melhor esclarecidas. Palavras-chave: abundância, Alticini, insetos herbívoros, padrão de distribuição, sazonalidade.
