Resumen (es):
Este trabajo documenta por primera vez la depredación del cangrejo de río Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852) (Decapoda: Cambaridae) por Notonecta melaena Kirkaldy, 1897 (Insecta: Notonectidae). Estas dos especies coexisten en la reserva Club Náutico El Muña en la cordillera oriental de la región Andina colombiana. El potencial depredador de N. melaena sobre estadios juveniles de P. clarkii fue probado en cautiverio. Individuos de N. melaena fueron aislados en recipientes plásticos usando agua potable. La longitud corporal fue medida para depredadores y presas, y se registró el tiempo empleado en cada evento de depredación. Diez individuos de N. melaena depredaron sobre 150 individuos juveniles de P. clarkii. Las presas fueron consumidas en un rango de tiempo de entre 29 y 182 min (108,64 ± 45,74). Esta información sirve como base para futuros estudios centrados en determinar preferencias alimenticias y tasas de depredación por N. melaena, y el diseño de estrategias de control biológico de P. clarkii en ecosistemas andinos.
Resumen (en):
This work documents the predation of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852) (Decapoda: Cambaridae) by the backswimmer Notonecta melaena Kirkaldy, 1897 (Insecta: Notonectidae) for the first time. The two species were observed coexisting at the Club Náutico El Muña reserve in the eastern range of the Colombian Andean region. The predatory potential of N. melaena on juvenile P. clarkii was tested under captivity conditions. Individuals of N. melaena were isolated in plastic containers using drinking water. Body lengths of predator and prey specimens were measured, and the time spent on each predation event was registered. Ten individuals of N. melaena preyed upon 150 individuals of P. clarkii. Prey consumption ranged from 29 to 182 min (108.64±45.74). This information serves as the foundation for future studies aimed at determining prey preferences and predation rates in N. melaena, which can be used in biological control strategies against P. clarkii in Andean ecosystems.
