Abstract

Multitrophic associations, including three or higher trophic levels,
related with insects on Rosaceae species were investigated. Field studies were
conducted in 2013-2014 period in Edirne province, Trakya University Arboretum,
of European Turkey. Parasitoid individuals belonging to 6 families and 24
defined species were reared from larval or pupal individuals belonging to 10
families and 13 defined species collected from 7 Rosaceae species in the field.
A total of 50 multitrophic associations (plant–host–parasitoid) were recorded
in the study area. Among these interactions, 10 host–parasitoid associations
were observed for the first time. During the study, some biological and
ecological observations were also recorded. In addition, 12 dipteran and
hymenopteran species were determined as new records for the fauna of Edirne province and European Turkey.
