Abstract

In a survey of the arthropod fauna of 33 Urban Green Spaces (UGS) in Bogotá, Colombia, between 2017 and 2019, 21 species (3,825 specimens) of Psylloidea were collected. These represent all seven recognised families of jumping plant-lice and include seven species identified only to genus. The specimens, all adults, were collected on 30 plant species used for arborization in the UGS. Two species are described as new (Mastigimaslongicaudatus Rendón-Mera, Burckhardt & Vargas-Fonseca, sp. nov. and Leuronotaalbilinea Rendón-Mera, Burckhardt & Vargas-Fonseca, sp. nov.), one species is redescribed (Mastigimascolombianus Burckhardt, Queiroz & Drohojowska) and one species is recorded for the first time from Colombia (Calindatrinervis Olivares & Burckhardt). Among the seven species identified only to genus is an undescribed species of Melanastera, representing a genus not previously known from Colombia. Fourteen species found during the survey are probably native (66%) and seven (33%) adventive. Our findings highlight the significance of UGS for preservation of biological diversity and stress the importance of using native plants in urban landscape planning for the conservation of the native entomofauna.

Introduction

Urbanisation, the most irreversible form of land-use by the ever increasing human population, is one of the main drivers of the current extinction crisis (McKinney 2002; Seto et al. 2012; Díaz et al. 2019; Kong et al. 2021; Jaureguiberry et al. 2022). Accompanied by the degradation, fragmentation and loss of natural habitats (Foley et al. 2005; Elmqvist et al. 2013; Kong et al. 2021), urbanisation usually favours the presence of exotic species, leads to biotic homogeneity, and ultimately results in the loss of native species (McKinney 2002, 2008; Elmqvist et al. 2013; McDonald et al. 2018). Cities have dramatically expanded during the last decades and, as of today, more than half of the world’s population resides in urban areas with an expected increase to 70% by 2050 (Elmqvist et al. 2013; United Nations 2019).

As cities grow, Urban Green Spaces (UGS) become increasingly critical for supporting native organisms (Goddard et al. 2010; Aronson et al. 2014; Ives et al. 2016). These spaces comprise natural, semi-natural and artificial habitats, including remnants of native vegetation, parks, gardens, urban wastelands and green infrastructure (Tzoulas et al. 2007; Aronson et al. 2017; Lepczyk et al. 2017). However, not all UGS have equal conservation value, as the degree to which they can support biodiversity depends on several factors such as quality, size, connectivity, biotic interactions, land-use history and human population density (Aronson et al. 2017). Consequently, it is necessary to integrate ecological and biodiversity aspects into urban planning, to develop strategies for the design and management of these spaces to serve biodiversity conservation (McKinney 2002; Elmqvist et al. 2013; Aronson et al. 2017; McDonald et al. 2018).

Colombia is located in the north-west of South America and is one of the world’s megadiverse countries, home to approximately 10% of the world’s species and two of the world’s biodiversity hotspots: Tropical Andes and Tumbes–Chocó–Magdalena (Myers et al. 2000; Baptiste et al. 2017). At the same time, it is a highly urbanised country, with ~ 80% of its 50 million human inhabitants residing in urban areas (OECD 2022). This contrast is particularly evident in the Andean region, which exhibits both the highest levels of biological diversity and endemism, and of urbanisation and population density (Anselm et al. 2018; Carvajal-Castro et al. 2019). The Colombian capital Bogotá, the largest city in the country, is located in the middle of the Andes mountains, in the Eastern Ranges. Like other Latin American cities, much of Bogotá’s urban growth during the last two centuries has been unplanned and informal (Andrade et al. 2013), driven by an accelerated increase of rural-to-urban migration (Dufour and Piperata 2004). As a result, UGS only began to appear by the end of the 19th century and, as late as the end of the 20th century, became relevant under the concept of “Ecological Main Structure” (Andrade et al. 2013, 2014). Today, the concept has been decreed as one of the environmental determinants of land use-planning (Andrade et al. 2013, 2014). Bogotá has around 7,000 UGS of different scale and function, and ~ 1.4 million urban trees (Alcaldía Mayor de Bogotá 2009; Jardín Botánico de Bogotá 2023). However, despite the need for information on ecology and biodiversity to develop these strategies (McKinney 2002; Elmqvist et al. 2013; Aronson et al. 2017; McDonald et al. 2018), there are only a few studies that explore urban biodiversity in Colombia (e.g. Marín-Gómez et al. 2016; Ocampo Flórez et al. 2018; Durán-Prieto and Ocampo 2019; Durán-Prieto et al. 2020, 2023; Martínez and Morales 2020; Garizábal-Carmona and Mancera-Rodríguez 2021; Olaya-Arenas et al. 2022; Roncallo et al. 2022).

Psylloidea (jumping plant-lice or psyllids) constitute one of the superfamilies of Sternorrhyncha with more than 4,000 described and probably just as many undescribed species (Burckhardt et al. 2021; Ouvrard 2023). Psyllids are generally monophagous or narrowly oligophagous on one or a few closely related host plant species (Hodkinson 1974; Burckhardt et al. 2014; Ouvrard et al. 2015). A host plant is defined as that plant “on which a psyllid species completes its immature-to-adult life cycle” (Burckhardt et al. 2014). In practice, a host plant can be recognised by the presence of fifth instar immatures. Unlike the relatively immobile immatures, the winged adults disperse through flight or by air currents and are often found also on non-host plants (Burckhardt et al. 2014).

Psyllids are found in all biogeographic realms but are probably most species-rich in the tropics and the south temperate regions though these faunas are only poorly known, particularly those of the Afrotropical and Neotropical realms (Hollis 2004; Hodkinson 2009; Burckhardt and Queiroz 2020; Mauck et al. 2024). Little is known about the psyllid fauna of Colombia. Rendón-Mera et al. (2017) published a generic overview on the Colombian psyllids with a list of species known at the time. Additional information on psyllids from Bogotá is provided by Pinzón et al. (2002).

Here, the psyllids collected during a survey of the arthropod fauna of 33 UGS in Bogotá by the Botanical Garden “José Celestino Mutis” of Bogotá are discussed. The survey was conducted between 2017 and 2019, focussing on 30 species of native and exotic plants.

Material and methods

Material

Collections were conducted between 2017 and 2019 in 33 Urban Green Spaces (UGS) of nine of the 19 urban districts (“localidades”) of Bogotá (Figs 1, 2, Table 1, Appendix 1). Specimens were collected using sweep nets and entomological aspirators on the tree/shrub canopy cover of 30 plant species used for arborization in the city (Table 2). Unless stated otherwise, material is preserved pinned.

Holotypes are deposited in the entomological collection of the Museo Javeriano de Historia Natural of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá, Colombia (MPUJ_ENT). Paratypes and non-type material are deposited in MPUJ_ENT and the Naturhistorisches Museum, Basel, Switzerland (NHMB).

Species description

Morphological terminology follows Bastin et al. (2023). Body length was taken from ethanol-preserved specimens in lateral view, measuring the distance from the tip of genal process to the tip of wings when folded over the body. All other measurements were taken from slide mounted specimens as indicated in Bastin et al. (2023). In Leuronota, vein length is measured as a linear distance. Measurements are given in mm and expressed as range (mean ± standard deviation). Slide preparation protocol follows Queiroz et al. (2017).

Conventions

Taxa are arranged alphabetically (families and genera) following the classification of Burckhardt et al. (2021). Plant names and information of their origin correspond to POWO (2023). The following markings are used: (*) for new species records for Colombia and (‡) for adventive species. Material examined is presented per urban district, written in bold and arranged alphabetically. Plants mentioned in this section are those from which specimens were collected and not necessarily host plants as defined by Burckhardt et al. (2014). Distribution in Colombia is presented by department.

Host plants

No immature psyllids were collected during the survey and none of the sampled plant species could, therefore, be confirmed as host in the sense of Burckhardt et al. (2014). Under “Host plant” we cite reliable literature records with the respective reference, or we discuss reasons for assuming that a particular plant constitutes a host. In Table 1 we use this information to classify plants into hosts (marked with §) and non-hosts.

Distribution.

Colombia: Bogotá, Cundinamarca, Meta (Brown and Hodkinson 1988; Rendón-Mera et al. 2017), Costa Rica, Panama, and Peru (Brown and Hodkinson 1988; Hollis 2000).

Host plant.

Ficushartwegii Miq. (Moraceae) (Hollis 2000). Several adults were collected in the present study on Ficusamericanasubsp.andicola (Standl.) C.C.Berg. This species has to be confirmed as host. Many adults were collected on unidentified Ficus trees. It is possible that these also constitute hosts, but they should be identified to species and examined for psyllid immatures for further conclusions.

Most adults (types and material at hand) were collected on Cedrelamontana Turcz. (Meliaceae). Mastigimas species develop, as far as known, on Cedrela, suggesting that C.montana is a host.

Comments.

Mastigimascolombianus was described from two males and two females collected in Bogotá (Burckhardt et al. 2013). As more material is available from this study, a redescription of the species is provided here. The females in the material at hand fit the original description perfectly but the male paramere is slightly variable with respect to the shape of the outer lobe. As in the two type specimens, the paramere in the material at hand is strongly sclerotised which seems characteristic for the species.

Distribution.

Colombia: Bogotá.

Host plant.

Most of the examined adults were collected on Cedrelamontana Turcz. (Meliaceae). Mastigimas species develop, as far as known, on Cedrela, suggesting that C.montana is a host.

Comments.

Mastigimaslongicaudatus Rendón-Mera, Burckhardt & Vargas-Fonseca, sp. nov. resembles M.anjosiBurckhardt et al., 2011 (known from Brazil, Trinidad, and Venezuela) in the irregularly triangular paramere and the elongate, falcate female terminalia; it differs in the antennal segment 3 approx. as long as segment 4 (instead of twice as long), and the aedeagal head lacking an apico-ventral hook (Burckhardt et al. 2011, 2013). The falcate female terminalia are shared also with M.drepanodis Burckhardt, Queiroz & Drohojowska, 2013 (Brazil) which differs in the slenderer paramere (Burckhardt et al. 2013). In the key by Burckhardt et al. (2013), the new species keys out with M.colombianus from which it differs in details of the male and female terminalia.

Distribution.

Colombia: Bogotá, Magdalena (Rendón-Mera et al. 2017).

Host plant.

Unknown. The single female at hand was collected on Croton, an unlikely host as all Platycorypha species, for which hosts are known, develop on Fabaceae (Burckhardt and Queiroz 2020).

Comments.

The single female at hand resembles specimens reported as Platycoryphaerythrinae (Lizer) from Panama (Brown and Hodkinson 1988) and Peru (Burckhardt 1987). These specimens are probably not conspecific with P.erythrinae from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, but represent an undescribed species. The specimens from Colombia, Panama and Peru differ from the latter in the presence of distinct brown dots on the radular areas of the forewing and the small hook on the apex of the female proctiger. More material is required for solving this issue.

Comments.

The single female at hand represents probably an undescribed species. It shares the following characters with Calindaalbonigra Olivares & Burckhardt, 1997 and C.gladiformis Olivares & Burckhardt, 1997: antenna shorter than 1.2 mm; forewing lacking surface spinules in distal 1/2; apical projection of proctiger well delimited from base, not inflated, straight, pointed apically, with well-defined teeth along dorsal margin; subgenital plate long; valvula dorsalis long; ventral saw of valvula ventralis not well delimited at base. From the former it differs in the relatively longer processes on the proctiger and subgenital plate. From the latter it differs in the relatively shorter apical process of the proctiger and the presence of a small ventral hump in the basal 1/3 of the subgenital plate.

Etymology.

From Latin albus = white, and linea = line, referring to the contrasting longitudinal white stripe on the mesonotum. Noun in the ablative case.

Distribution.

Colombia: Bogotá.

Host plant.

Unknown. Many adults were collected on Clusia sp. (Clusiaceae) in the same area suggesting it is a host rather than just a casual plant. Further studies are necessary to to check this assumption.

Comments.

Leuronotaalbilinea Rendón-Mera, Burckhardt & Vargas-Fonseca, sp. nov. resembles L.inusitata (Tuthill, 1944) (known from Costa Rica, Mexico, and Panama) in the brown body colour with white head and pleura, and white longitudinal stripe on mesonotum. It differs in the forewing pattern, the obovate forewing (vs ovate), the paramere with short (vs long) apical process and sinuous (vs concave) apical 1/2 of posterior margin, the aedeagal head with a weakly sinuous apical margin (vs evenly convex), and the female proctiger with a relatively slender apical portion (vs massive). In the key of Brown and Hodkinson (1988), L.albilinea Rendón-Mera, Burckhardt & Vargas-Fonseca, sp. nov. keys out with L.inusitata. In the key of Burckhardt (1988), the species keys out in couplet 4 with L.digitulata Burckhardt, 1988 (Paraguay) and L.fagarae Burckhardt, 1988 (Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, USA), from which it differs in the forewing pattern with three brown transverse bands (vs restricted to anal margin or completely or almost completely covering the entire membrane).

Discussion and conclusions

During the survey of the arthropod fauna of 33 UGS in Bogotá between 2017 and 2019, 3,825 adult specimens of 21 psyllid species of seven families were found, seven species of which could be identified only to genus. Psyllids were found in all UGS ranging from 1–8 species per UGS. The UGS with the highest number (8 spp.) is Parque Ilarco, followed by Parque El Virrey (7 spp.), Parque Cabañas del Norte (5 spp.) and Universidad Distrital (Pueblo Viejo) (5 spp.) (Table 1). Parque El Virrey serves as a “contemplative” park while the other three UGS are designed for different purposes, primarily recreational use, and two of them, viz. Parque Ilarco and Parque Cabañas del Norte, are small parks with an area of less than 1 hectare each (Alcaldía Mayor de Bogotá 2021, 2022). At first sight this may be surprising, and one would expect that larger UGS specifically designed for conservation purposes would support the largest number of psyllid species. As psyllids are host specific, the presence of the host is the most important factor allowing the occurrence of psyllid species at a particular place. Local psyllid diversity usually reflects local host diversity.

The number of 21 species found during the survey is high in comparison to the number of taxa previously reported from Colombia: 34 identified species plus ten species identified only to genus (Pinzón et al. 2002; Rendón-Mera et al. 2017). This high percentage is, however, an artefact of the poor knowledge of the psyllid fauna of Colombia. From Brazil, whose psyllid diversity is slightly better known than that of Colombia, 163 species have been recorded (Burckhardt and Queiroz 2023). However, the actual number of species is likely to be in excess of 1000 (Burckhardt and Queiroz 2020). Comparing the number of plant species of the two countries with 44,000 species in Brazil and 37,000 species in Colombia (Flora e Funga do Brasil 2023; SiB Colombia 2023), it is reasonable to expect several hundreds of psyllid species in Colombia. The presence of previously undescribed species and the high percentage (38%) of species identified only to genus is a further indication of the hazy state of taxonomic knowledge.

Most specimens (3,800) were taken on plants which we consider hosts (vs 184 on non-hosts) (Table 2). Among the seven species with more than 20 collected specimens, less than 10% of the specimens were collected on non-hosts for four of them, while two species had between 10 and 15% of specimens on non-hosts. In only one species, Acizziauncatoides, almost 40% of specimens were collected on non-hosts, reflecting the high mobility of this invasive species. Of these seven species, two, viz. Calophyaschini and Syncoptozusmexicanus, are known to be monophagous, while the others are oligophagous. The suspected hosts of Leuronotaalbilinea Rendón-Mera, Burckhardt & Vargas-Fonseca, sp. nov. (Clusia sp.), Mastigimascolombianus (Cedrelamontana), M.longicaudatus Rendón-Mera, Burckhardt & Vargas-Fonseca, sp. nov. (Cedrelamontana) and Synozacornutiventris (Ficusamericanasubsp.andicola, Ficus sp.) are native, probably including those not identified to species.

A third of the psyllid species and more than 70% of the specimens found during the survey are exotic: the Australian Acizziaacaciaebaileyanae, A.uncatoides, Ctenarytainaeucalypti, C.spatulata and Glycaspisbrimblecombei, the North American Syncoptozusmexicanus, and the Peruvian Calophyaschini. The high abundance of these species is promoted by urban landscaping practices using exotic tree species (Molina-Prieto and Acosta-Hernández 2018; Bernal et al. 2022; Molina 2022), such as Acaciadecurrens, A.melanoxylon, Schinusareira, and Magnoliagrandiflora. Incidently, species like A.decurrens, A.melanoxylon, Eucalyptusglobulus, and S.areira were among the earliest species used for urban arborisation in Bogotá (Molina-Prieto and Acosta-Hernández 2018). Schinusareira, the host of C.schini, the most abundant psyllid species of the survey (63% of all specimens), constitutes one of the most characteristic trees of Bogotá (Jardín Botánico de Bogotá 2022). Native to Bolivia, northern Chile, and Peru (Bernal et al. 2016; POWO 2023), S.areira was introduced into Bogotá around 1850 (Molina-Prieto and Acosta-Hernández 2018) and now numbers approximately 24,000 trees (Jardín Botánico de Bogotá 2023). Immatures of C.schini induce pit-galls on the leaflets of their host (Pinzón and González 2002; Rendón-Mera et al. 2017), and it is not uncommon to find the heavily galled foliage of S.areira throughout the city (pers. observation of the authors).

There are twice as many native as exotic psyllid species (66%) but only four of these (Leuronotaalbilinea Rendón-Mera, Burckhardt & Vargas-Fonseca, sp. nov., Mastigimascolombianus, M.longicaudatus Rendón-Mera, Burckhardt & Vargas-Fonseca, sp. nov., and Synozacornutiventris) are represented by more than five individuals. Of the other ten species, three are identified to species and the other seven may be undescribed, but more material is needed to confirm this.

The psyllid data from our arthropod survey show that the UGS in Bogotá support a diverse psyllid fauna. The dominance of exotic tree species (Jardín Botánico de Bogotá 2023), however, promotes adventive, potentially invasive psyllids at the expense of the native fauna. For conservation of the native insect fauna, the use of native trees and shrubs should be considered a priority when new UGS are planned.

Glossary

Contemplative: Spaces designed to promote the richness and diversity of vegetation cover for environmental enjoyment and low-impact human activities. They focus on a contemplative and educational relationship achieved through both permanence and travel. Their main spatial design component is ecological.

Cultural: Spaces designed to serve as meeting places, promoting permanence for the development of civic or cultural activities and outdoor events that highlight cultural values, traditions, and collective memory. The design can incorporate various care and social services, with permanence as the main spatial design component.

Ecological park: Parks that due to their high scenic and/or biological value, as well as their location and accessibility, are intended for the preservation, restoration, and sustainable ecological use of their biophysical elements for environmental education and passive recreation.

Metropolitan park: Parks covering an area of more than 10 hectares, designated for the development of both active and passive recreational uses, aiming to generate landscape and environmental values. The influence of these spaces extends across the entire territory of the city.

Neighbourhood park: Parks with an area of less than one hectare, designed for the recreation, meeting, and integration of the community, addressing the specific needs of the neighbourhoods.

Pocket park: Neighbourhood-type parks but with an area of less than 0.1 hectares, intended primarily for the recreation of children and senior citizens.

Protected area: Spaces with unique value for the natural heritage of the Capital District, ecosystems, biodiversity conservation, and the evolution of culture in the area.

Proximity space: Spaces mostly smaller than one hectare that offer a diverse range of leisure activities at a local scale.

Recreational: Spaces designed to provide facilities for the development of recreational activities, promoting relationships between individuals, the development of skills, and engagement in both free and structured activities. Their main spatial design component is play.

Sport: Spaces designed to accommodate physical activities and sports practice at different levels, including recreational, training, and competitive levels. The activities focus on the physical conditioning of different age groups, either individually or collectively. The main spatial design component of these spaces is sports.

Structuring space: Spaces larger than one hectare that provide a diverse range of leisure activities, supporting both regional and district scales. These spaces contribute not only to human interactions but also to environmental and ecosystemic connectivity.

Zonal park: Parks ranging from 1 to 10 hectares designed to fulfil the active recreational needs of a group of neighbourhoods and can accommodate specialized sport facilities.
