Abstract
AbstractInsects and mites associated with each species in the Salvinia auriculata complex were recorded in Trinidad, Venezuela, Guyana, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina. There was a consistent pattern of herbivore-plant association throughout the range of the complex. Field studies showed that three insects, the curculionid Cyrtobagous sp., the pyralid Samea multiplicalis Gn. and the pauliniid Paulinia acuminata (Deg.), together contained Salvinia molesta at a density slightly below the carrying capacity of the environment in coastal areas of Brazil.
