Karim MIMOUN Fateh MIMECHE Abdelghani ZEDAM Adel MAMMERI Biología Mating Rumex sp Polyandry Sex ratio Polyphagous Labidostomis taxicornis (F) is a leaf beetle that belongs to the Chrysomelidae family. This insect feeds on a wide range of plants, including weeds and cultivated plant species, causing significant damage. This study, conducted during the spring of 2018 in the Ouaguenoun region (Tizi-Ouzou governorate) in northern Algeria, aimed to describe some bio-ecological features of L. taxicornis. The results show that Rumex L. (Polygonaceae) are the preferred food source for adult L. taxicornis during the breeding season. A careful monitoring of the mating behavior of L. taxicornis on Rumex sp. revealed that females are polyandrous. Egg-laying occurs on herbaceous plants other than Rumex sp. The population exhibited a female biased sex ratio. In addition, Rhynocoris erythropus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) was identified as the main natural predator of L. taxicornis. This study provides the first data on the bioecology of L. taxicornis in Algeria. 2025 artículo científico 1851-7471 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=322081906009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322081906009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322081906009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322081906009/322081906009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322081906009/movil https://doi.org/10.25085/rsea.840205 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3220 Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina application/pdf Sociedad Entomológica Argentina Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina (Argentina) Num.2 Vol.84
