Introduction

Insects make up a large part of the overall diversity in agricultural landscapes and encompass a broad range of functional groups (). They do not only represent agricultural pest species, insects also serve as biological control agents, provide pollination services, and form an important food resource for many vertebrates in agricultural landscapes ( ).

An increasing number of studies show that the intensification of land uses and homogenization in agricultural landscapes, with the aim of increasing food supply, decreases biodiversity. At the local field scale, increased uses of crop monocultures, greater inputs of fertilizers and pesticides, and decreased within-field heterogeneity may affect species diversity and composition and the provision of ecosystem services to agricultural productivity ().

In the Alto Valle de Río Negro and Neuquén provinces, in the north of the Argentinian Patagonia, the main economic-productive development is linked to fruit production of pears and apples. The second most important activity, in terms of arable land area and impact on the rural economy, is horticultural production (). In this region, both the fruit and vegetable production models can be described as systems highly dependent on chemical inputs for pest management and fertilization (,). Besides, the progress of the real estate market and subsequent urbanization on former production areas is affecting the region's biodiversity due to habitat fragmentation.

These productive activities take place within a dynamic and heterogeneous landscape. Horticulture farms are surrounded by fruit productive orchards, abandoned orchards, patches and corridors of spontaneous vegetation and poplar "shelterbelts” (e.g, ). This landscape heterogeneity provides resources such as nectar and pollen from a diversity of flowering plants, a variety of preys or hosts, and overwintering and nesting habitat for pollinators and predatory insects, which may regúlate the incidence of pests and promote the presence of beneficial insects in crops.

Agroecological management has been proposed as an alternative to conventional agricultural management due to its alleged ability to rehabilitate degraded ecosystem services ().

The knowledge of the entomological fauna present in productive systems is important for the agroecological approach, since beneficial insects are a key resource for pest management in horticultural systems, allowing a decrease in the use of agrochemicals, and providing other services such as pollination. The maintenance and management of agrobiodiversity is one of the most promising strategies in the search for sustainable agroecosystems. There is a growing consensus that a greater agrobiodiversity in its different dimensions (spatial, temporal, and structural) provides essential ecological services in agroecosystems ( ). The growing demand for productive systems with less dependence on chemical inputs promotes the search for management strategies to strengthen ecological processes weakened by a decrease in diversity.

In order to design productive systems with an agroecological approach, it is essential to have scientific information on the biodiversity present in a given area and the ecological function and/or feeding habits of the insects. For example, the order Hymenoptera includes families with a broad heterogeneity of functions: predators (e.g, Vespidae), pollinators (e.g, Apidae), and parasitoids (e.g, Braconidae).

The scientific knowledge of the insect fauna of the Alto Valle de Río Negro and Neuquén is scarce and strongly associated with pome fruit production for export markets, as illustrated by the following contributions: Hymenoptera (; ;), Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha (; ), Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha (; ;); Lepidoptera (;); Neuroptera (), Diptera (Santadino et al., 2015) and Coleoptera (Curculionidae) ().

The aim of this study is to carry out an inventory of the biodiversity of some families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera (Curculionidae) and Hymenoptera present in rural and peri-urban horticultural farms, taking into account tomato and pepper crops and the surrounding non- cultivated areas (as spontaneous vegetation, abandoned fruit orchards, and poplar shelterbelts).

Study area

Alto Valle de Río Negro and Neuquén is situated in the north of the Argentinian Patagonia, along parallel 39° S and meridians 68° to 66° W (). It develops along the lower basin of Limay and Neuquén rivers and the upper basin of Río Negro river, as seen in Figure 1. Natural and semi-natural habitats, urban centers, peripheries and rural areas are alternated along almost 130 km. The Alto Valle is a long strip about 6 to 20 km wide. The arable land with the highest quality is located near the river terraces of Limay, Negro and Neuquén rivers.

The climate is temperate and semiarid, with an average annual temperature between 13.6 °C and 14.5 °C and thermal amplitude between 16.1 °C and 17.7 °C. The rainfall varies between 130 and 170 mm per year, depending on the locality, with a slightly progressive increase from west to east.

It is an area of strong winds higher than 4 m/s on average, with predominant direction southwest-west. The typical vegetation is composed of shrubs of the genera Larrea ("jarillas") (L. divaricata Cav., L. cuneifolia Cav. and exceptionally L. nítida Cav.) and some Prosopis L. such as P alpataco Phil. ("alpataco"), or Schinus (S. johnstonii F.A. Barkley ("molle"). Permanent and ephemeral grasses grow under these shrubs, although in some areas this vegetation has changed due to the implementation of gravity irrigation system. The usual summer water deficit is mainly supplied by a channel network derived from the Limay, Neuquén and Negro rivers.

In the Alto Valle region, horticultural activities are mostly performed by small and medium farmers. The most important crops are tomatoes, peppers, carrots, pumpkins, lettuce, and other vegetables. The farm activities show strong seasonality depending on the climate (e.g, summer water stress, frost, strong winds, hail) (,).

Localities studied. The coexistence of peri-urban and rural farms is frequent in the Alto Valle, for that reason we selected one peri-urban farm located on the eastern side of Plottier city (38°57’02.5” S; 68°12’29.5” W), Neuquén province and a rural one located in Campo Grande (38°41’11.5” S; 68°11’25.6” W), Río Negro province. The first one is about 6 hectares in size and belongs to a larger pear orchard (25 hectares in size), abandoned 10 years ago. Currently, this orchard is surrounded by real estate projects with different levels of development (Fig. 1a). The rural farm is about 3 hectares, located in a fruit production area of the Alto Valle. About 20 years ago this area was a pome orchard surrounded by other fruit and vegetable farms. The plot for cultivation is adjacent to the abandoned pear orchard (Fig. 1b).

Sampling methods

Collecting insects

For collecting insects in the horticultural systems (peri-urban and rural), we used different sampling techniques, carried out every 30 days, from January to April 2017 (January 6th, February 3rd, March 3rd and 31 th), during the period of tomatoes and pepper harvest. The sampling methods were as follows:

Sweeping net: Sequential sampling by net blows was carried out to capture the insects that inhabit the aerial part of the vegetation, walking through the field and passing the net over the vegetation. The movement with the net was performed with an angle of approximately 90°. Twenty net strokes were made at each sampling site. The captured insects were placed in transparent jars with 70% ethanol.

Pitfall trap: These traps were used to capture epigeous walking insects. They consisted of 220 ml white plastic containers (diameter: 10 cm; depth, 12 cm), buried and placed at ground level, with 100 ml of a solution of 70% ethanol, 20% water and 10% liquid petroleum jelly. The material obtained by each sampling method was separated for subsequent determination by the authors: Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Fulgoroidea and Membracidae by A.M. Marino de Remes Lenicov; Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae by S.L. Paradell and B.S. Defea; Heteroptera by P. M. Dellapé and E. Minghetti; Coleoptera: Curculionidae by M.G. del Río and A.A. Lanteri, and Hymenoptera by L.J. Álvarez. The specimens were identified through the use of keys, specialized bibliography and by comparison of primary types and reference specimens from the Museo de La Plata. The material examined was deposited in the entomological collection of the Museo de La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina (MLP).

Sampling design

The agricultural landscape was defined as a heterogeneous land area made up of a group of ecosystems, repeated across length and width in similar ways (). The landscape represents a mosaic of farms, semi-natural habitats, human infrastructure and, occasionally, natural habitats (). For this reason, the selected sites included not only tomatoes and pepper crops, but also feral plant communities located on the margins of these crops: abandoned pear orchards, spontaneous vegetation and poplar shelterbelts. Sampling stations were established within each sampling site. The number of stations was based on the site's surface. Each station consisted of the locations where each pitfall trap was placed.

Vegetation sampling

For vegetation sampling we applied quadrat method (). At each sampling station a 1 m x 1 m quadrat was randomly placed and all plants within the quadrat were recorded and identified at species level (), when possible.

Naupactus cervinus Boheman

Common names. Fuller’s rose weevil, Fuller’s rose beetle.

Geographic distribution. Native to Argentina, southern Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Introduced in Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and several Pacific Islands, as well as other countries of Central America, North America, Europe, and South Africa. In Argentina it is widespread in several provinces: Buenos Aires, Catamarca, Chaco, Chubut, Córdoba, Corrientes, Chubut, Entre Ríos, Jujuy, Mendoza, Misiones, Salta, Santa Fe and Tucumán ().

Feeding habits. Phytophagous.

Plant associations. It is a major pest of Citrus spp. (Rutaceae), other fruit plants and ornamental plants. Examples of fruit plants are Musa sp. (Musaceae), "avocado” (Lauraceae), "walnut" (Juglandaceae), "strawberry", "apple", "plum" (Rosaceae). Among ornamentals there are Rosa sp. (Rosaceae), Begoniasp. (Begoniaceae), Gardenia sp. (Rubiaceae), Hibiscus sp. (Malvaceae), Hydrangea sp. (Hydrangeaceae), Lilium sp. (Liliaceae) and others. Other crops are "potato" (Solanaceae), "alfalfa", Phaseolus sp. (Fabaceae), and Cucurbita sp. (Cucurbitaceae) ().

Lifecycle. Adults of N. cervinus feed on foliage and larvae feed on roots. Under severe infestations, these weevils can consume the entire leaf, leaving only the midrib. Plants with severe root damage are more vulnerable to other biotic and abiotic factors (e.g, fungal infections with Phytopthora spp.) and may die during periods of drought. Larval damage can be serious on vegetable crops but relatively minor in citrus. Reproduction occurs without fertilization, a phenomenon known as parthenogenesis, except in small native areas

of Argentina and Brazil.

Naupactus leucoloma Boheman

Common names. White-fringed weevil, white-fringed beetle.

Geographic distribution. Native to South America: Argentina, southern Brazil and Uruguay. Introduced in Chile (including Easter Island and Juan Fernández Islands), Peru, Mexico, USA, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. In Argentina it is widespread in several provinces: Buenos Aires, Catamarca, Chaco, Chubut, Córdoba, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Formosa, Jujuy, La Pampa, La Rioja, Mendoza, Río Negro, Salta, San Juan, San Luis, Santa Fe, Santiago del Estero and Tucumán (). Neuquén is a new province record.

Feeding habits. Phytophagous.

Plant associations. It shows a broad host range, of about 385 plant species worldwide, including ornamentals, fruit trees, horticultural and industrial crops and forage. The major crop species are: Brassica sp. (Brassicaceae), "carrots" (Apiaceae), "strawberry", Rubus sp. and Prunus sp. (Rosaceae), "peanut", "soybean", "alfalfa", "beans", "pea", "cowpea" and Trifolium spp. (Fabaceae), "onion" (Amarydillaceae), "potato" and "pepper" (Solanaceae), "maize" (Poaceae), "sweet potato" (Convolvulaceae). Fabaceae are major hosts in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay ( ). Pastures can be seriously damaged in Australia and New Zealand.

Lifecycle. Adults feed at the bases of leaf margins, leaving characteristic "notching”. This feeding behavior injures plants seriously only if adults are very numerous. Larvae gnaw at tap roots, the basal parts of stems and the small lateral roots. When feeding is severe, plants turn yellow, wilt and die. Plants on which only a small amount of the cambium layer is eaten usually survive, but produce little or no crop. In lucerne, the larvae usually chew into the taproot, make a furrow along it and these results in the death of young plants. In "potatoes" damage is more spectacular, as larvae tunnel inside the tubers. The nitrogen fixation rate of Trifolium repens L. is reduced by 92% by N. leucoloma in New Zealand.

Except in some small areas of Argentina, populations of N. leucoloma include only parthenogenetic females.

Family Vespidae

Subfamily Vespinae

Vespula germanica (Fabricius)

Geographic distribution. Native to the Palaearctic, and introduced in Australia, New Zealand, North America, South America, South Africa, Ascencion Island, Madeira, Canary Islands and Iceland ( ., 2011). In Argentina it was registered by , and it is distributed from the north of the province of Mendoza to the south of the province of Tierra del Fuego and from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean (, 2013;., 2015).

Biological comments. Eusocial and with generalist predator behavior, it can negatively affect natural ecosystems and economic activities, including beekeeping, horticulture and tourism ( , 2013).

Material studied. Neuquén. Plottier. Spontaneous vegetation (pitfall), 06-0I-2017, (3 males); 03-II-2017, (1 male); 31-III-2017 (1 male). Pepper (pitfall), 03-II-2017, (1 male); 03-III-2017, (1 male). Tomato (sweeping net),

Among the species listed in the present work, 74% are herbivorous, of which 55% are pests, but within this percentage only 35% correspond to horticultural species and the rest to cereals and fruit trees. The remaining 45% of herbivourous species are not pests and can act as alternative prey for predator populations with interest for biological control. Among the non- herbivores (26%) three species are of interest for biological control and five for pollination. It is worth mentioning that only some of the insect families captured in the study are published in the present work. Even so, the species listed herein show the importance of the vegetation areas surrounding the crops. The predatory species were found mainly in the patches of vegetation with greater complexity in their structure since there are herbaceous, shrub and arboreal species (abandoned fruit orchard in the rural area and spontaneous vegetation patch in the peri-urban area), and which also present a greater number of species that represent a source of pollen and / or nectar for insects. Other studies analysing bees, true bugs, and carabids separately in each landscape confirmed that diversity patterns in mosaic agricultural landscapes are strongly determined by the interplay of species’ dispersal abilities and landscape structure (Steffan- , 2002; , 2000). Something similar is observed with species that are pollinators. Floral resource availability is considered a major driving force that directly regulates the abundance and diversity of wild bees’ communities (., 2003; , 2011).
