Insect Herbivores of Aquatic and Wetland
Plants in the United States: a Checklist From
Literature
NATHAN E. HARMS1 AND M. J. GRODOWITZ2
ABSTRACT
Lacking a central database of insect herbivores and associated aquatic and wetland plants, we compiled a relatively
thorough literature listing into an accessible table, providing
plant species, associated insect herbivores, plant parts affected, and region of study. The intent was to provide aquatic
plant managers, researchers, and other interested personnel
access to information on the wide diversity of insect herbivores of aquatic plants and wetland plant species in the United States.
Key words: aquatic plants, herbivory, insects, insect-plant associations
INTRODUCTION
Although overlooked for many years, herbivory of aquatic
plants is a common and important factor contributing to
structure and composition of plant communities (Carpenter
and Lodge 1986, Lodge 1991, Newman 1991, Lodge et al.
1998). Herbivory has been shown to alter photosynthetic
ability, thereby retarding growth, stressing plants, and reducing winter bud formation (Wallace and O’Hop 1985, Doyle
et al. 2002, 2005). These facts are especially important to researchers studying the ecology of freshwater systems, but also
to those involved in aquatic ecorestoration, in which native
plants are used to preempt invasion by more weedy, exotic
species (Smart et al. 1998). In addition, knowledge of insect
herbivory is the basis of many of the classical biological control programs in use throughout the world (Bennett and
Buckingham 2000, Center et al. 1998, Coombs et al. 2004).
Because herbivory is such an important determinant in
plant competitive success in aquatic systems, it is necessary to
understand what species impact aquatic plants and how their
feeding influences plant growth and competitive ability. Although herbivory by other organisms (e.g., crayfish, turtles,
waterfowl, and nutria) is substantial (Dick et al. 1995, Doyle
and Smart 1995, Doyle et al. 1997), this paper compiled only
published information regarding insect species known to
feed on native aquatic and wetland plants in the United
States, although other works have focused on introduced

plants and their biocontrol agents (Center et al. 1999,
Coombs et al. 2004). In fact, more information is often available regarding introduced biocontrol agents of exotic plants
than that of native insect herbivores. Descriptions of the nature and magnitude of insect impacts on the various host
plants is not reported here and is, in most cases, unknown.
In that regard further work is warranted.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From 2005 to 2008 a literature review of native plants was
conducted to summarize published information regarding
insect herbivores of aquatic and wetland plants in the United
States. With the exception of the Chironomidae (Diptera),
only literature reporting actual herbivory was included (i.e.,
no inferences are made here regarding insect diet). Some
chironomid taxa are obligate stem and leaf miners, and although some of those listed may not directly consume plant
tissue, some larvae probably injure the plant through tunneling action and also increase the likelihood of pathogenic infection.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
We compiled results of the literature review (Table 1), reporting plant names with the most current (as of 2009) taxonomic classification recognized by the United States
Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation
Service (USDA-NRCS 2009), and to the best of our knowledge, insect classifications are also current. In some instances information regarding “plant part affected” by herbivores
was not available and thus not included in the table. In addition, location of the insect species study was not always clear
and was omitted from the table.
We reported 761 plant-herbivore interactions comprising
313 insect and 167 plant species, including the herbivore
family Curculionidae (Coleoptera) and the genus Hydrellia
(Diptera: Ephydridae), represented by 81 and 29 species, respectively. Also included are the common aquatic lepidopterans and chrysomelids. We suspect some associations in the
literature were not available to us during this review, and certainly some new plant-herbivore interactions are yet to be discovered; however, the information we provide herein offers
the most comprehensive and extensive compilation to date
regarding aquatic plants in the United States and the associated insect herbivore faunas.

Our study included 78 literature sources. Pondweeds (Potamogeton spp.) were the subject of the most citations, with
140 plant-herbivore associations documented in 14 sources.
Smartweeds (Polygonum spp.) and waterlilies (Nymphaeae
spp.) followed pondweeds, with 95 and 53 associations from
17 and 7 sources, respectively.
Several species of submersed aquatic plants lack, or have
minimal reports of, herbivore species in the literature, including Heteranthera dubia (Jacq.) MacM., Elodea spp., Ceratophyllum demersum L., and others. The apparent lack of data
from these plants probably results from their submersed nature and the difficulty of accurately sampling herbivores.
Herbivory of several submersed macrophytes, including H.
dubia, is the subject of a separate study (Harms and Grodowitz, unpublished data).
The main purpose of this review is to provide information
regarding insect species known to feed on aquatic and wetland plants in the United States. The data (Table 1) may be
used as a quick reference to research insect herbivory for a
particular plant species or group of herbivorous insects.

Effect of Root Fragment Length and Planting
Depth on Clonal Establishment of
Alligatorweed
Y. PAN, Y. P. GENG1, B. LI1 AND J. K. CHEN1
ABSTRACT
Alligatorweed (Alternanthera philoxeroides [Mart.] Griseb) is
commonly abundant in open disturbed riparian zones in
south China. Based on field observations, roots of alligatorweed are often fragmented into different sizes and buried at
various depths in the soil following disturbances such as
flooding and mechanical control. To gain knowledge about

the regeneration of alligatorweed from root fragments following mechanical control, the viability of root fragments
was studied in pots. Roots were cut into three lengths (1, 3,
and 6 cm) and planted at depths of 3, 7, and 15 cm in pots.
All root fragments sprouted at least one ramet 33 days after
planting. The time of emergence was delayed by greater soil
depth but was not affected by tuber size or by the interaction
of tuber size and soil depth. The emergence rate (depth/
mean emergence time, cm day-1) increased with planting
depth. Ramet number per root increased with root size but
was not affected by soil depth or by the interaction of root
size and soil depth. Although the dry mass and leaf area of alligatorweed increased with increasing tuber size and reduced
