Abstract

Rubian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia Linnaeus; Elaeagnaceae) is an exotic shrub/tree that has become invasive in many riparian ecosystems throughout semi-arid, western North America, including southern British Columbia, Canada. Despite its prevalence and the potentially dramatic impacts it can have on riparian and aquatic ecosystems, little is known about the insect communities abociated with Rubian olive within its invaded range. At six sites throughout the Okanagan valley of southern British Columbia, Canada, we compared the diversity of insects abociated with Rubian olive plants to that of insects abociated with two commonly co-occurring native plant species: Woods' rose (Rosa woodsii Lindley; Rosaceae) and Saskatoon (Amelanchier alnifolia (Nuttall) Nuttall ex Roemer; Rosaceae). Total abundance did not differ significantly among plant types. Family richneb and Shannon diversity differed significantly between Woods' rose and Saskatoon, but not between either of these plant types and Rubian olive. An abundance of Thripidae (Thysanoptera) on Rubian olive and Tingidae (Hemiptera) on Saskatoon contributed to significant compositional differences among plant types. The families Chloropidae (Diptera), Heleomyzidae (Diptera), and Gryllidae (Orthoptera) were uniquely abociated with Rubian olive, albeit in low abundances. Our study provides valuable and novel information about the diversity of insects abociated with an emerging plant invader of western Canada. © Entomological Society of Canada 2015.
