Plants grow under reduced water availability can have divergent effects on insect herbivores, in some instances producing benefits to them. However, the forces mediating these positive impacts remain mostly unclear. We conducted a manipulative field study using a specialist herbivore Pieris rapae, and its host plant, Rorippa indica, in two populations to identify how water availability impacts overall plant quality and multitrophic interactions. We observed that R. indica growing under low water availability led to higher survival of P. rapae larvae. The increase in survival of eggs and larvae was related to the reduced abundance of other herbivores and natural enemies. Water availability had differential impacts on members of the herbivore community through changes in plant quality. Low water availability decreased the quality of R. indica to most herbivores as indicated by reduced abundance in the field and decreased relative growth rate in feeding assays. In contrast, the performance of P. rapae larvae were not affected by differences in sympatric R. indica grown under different water availability. These results indicate that local P. rapae possess some physiological adaptation to overcome fluctuations in host quality. Our findings illustrate that reduced water availability is beneficial to a specialist herbivore, but detrimental to most other herbivores. Our work highlights the complex roles of the arthropod communities associated with plants in determining the impacts of water availability on insect herbivores.

节肢动物群落的改变而不是植物的质量改变使水供应减少的植物上的一种专门食草动物受益

在水供应减少的情况下生长的植物会对昆虫食草动物产生不同的影响,在某些情况下会对它们产生好处。但是,调解这些积极影响的力量仍然大多不清楚。我们在两个种群中使用专业的草食性菜青虫菜青虫及其寄主植物Rorippa indica进行了操作性田间研究,以确定水的可利用性如何影响整体植物质量和多营养相互作用。我们观察到,在水分利用率低的情况下生长的印度。树导致菜青虫幼虫的存活率更高。卵和幼虫存活率的提高与其他草食动物和天敌数量的减少有关。可用水通过植物质量的变化对食草动物群落的成员产生不同的影响。低水利用率降低了R的质量。多数草食动物的稻,如田间丰度降低和饲喂试验中相对生长速率降低所表明。相比之下,在不同的水供应条件下生长的同胞印度R的差异不影响菜青虫的幼虫性能。这些结果表明,本地菜青菜具有一定的生理适应性,可以克服寄主质量的波动。我们的发现表明,减少水的供应有益于特殊的食草动物,但不利于大多数其他食草动物。我们的工作强调了节肢动物群落与植物有关的复杂作用,它们决定了可利用水量对昆虫食草动物的影响。油菜幼虫不受在不同水供应条件下生长的同胞印度。的差异的影响。这些结果表明,本地菜青菜具有一定的生理适应性,可以克服寄主质量的波动。我们的发现表明,减少水的供应有益于特殊的食草动物,但不利于大多数其他食草动物。我们的工作强调了节肢动物群落与植物有关的复杂作用,它们决定了可利用水量对昆虫食草动物的影响。油菜幼虫不受在不同水供应条件下生长的同胞印度。的差异的影响。这些结果表明,本地菜青菜具有一定的生理适应性,可以克服寄主质量的波动。我们的发现表明,减少水的供应有益于特殊的食草动物,但不利于大多数其他食草动物。我们的工作强调了节肢动物群落与植物有关的复杂作用,它们决定了水的可利用性对昆虫食草动物的影响。但对大多数其他食草动物有害。我们的工作强调了节肢动物群落与植物有关的复杂作用,它们决定了水的可利用性对昆虫食草动物的影响。但对大多数其他食草动物有害。我们的工作强调了节肢动物群落与植物有关的复杂作用,它们决定了水的可利用性对昆虫食草动物的影响。
