Descripción
Introduction: Agricultural expansion increasingly replaces natural habitats with crops. Vineyards are spreading into arid natural areas, and because grapevine provides no nectar, flower-visiting insects within them depend largely on the ground cover and on remnants of native vegetation. Aims/Methods: We asked whether flower-visiting assemblages differ between remnant riparian vegetation and the adjacent crop, whether they differ between positions within the crop, and which ground-cover attributes are associated with these differences. In four vineyards we sampled wild bees, wasps and hoverflies in riparian corridors, at vineyard edges and in vineyard interiors over two seasons, and recorded the vegetation of each sampling unit. Richness, abundance and composition were compared using mixed models, coverage-standardised diversity and indicator species analysis. Results: Assemblages differed between corridors and the crop, but not between vineyard edges and interiors. Bee and wasp richness and abundance were higher in corridors than at either vineyard position, and nine species occurred almost exclusively there, whereas none was restricted to vineyard interiors. Hoverflies showed the opposite pattern, being more abundant within the vineyard; this group was dominated by a single aphidophagous species accounting for 88% of individuals. Bees and wasps were associated with flowering plant cover and native dicotyledonous richness, and negatively with total vegetation cover; hoverfly abundance was negatively associated with native dicotyledonous richness. Discussion: Riparian corridors act as reservoirs for the native bee and wasp fauna, holding species that scarcely enter the crop. Implications for insect conservation: Preserving remnant riparian vegetation is a prerequisite for sustaining diverse bee and wasp communities in expanding vineyard landscapes. Increasing floral resources and native plant richness in inter-rows complements, but cannot substitute for, conserving these remnants.
