DOIAbstract
We identified the species of Cicadellidae associated to rice fields from an agricultural experimental station of La Plata city, Argentina, and explored the diversity pattern of the leafhopper assemblage. Insects were obtained from rice and surrounding weeds between 2006 and 2010. Syncharina argentina (Berg) and Agalliana ensigera Oman were the most abundant species in rice and weeds, respectively. Diversity (H´), heterogeneity (D) and evenness (J) indices were estimated. There was a significant effect of crop cycle (2006 to 2010) and host plant (rice and weeds) on H? and D, being not significant the interaction between them. Evenness was similar in rice lots and weeds, but differed between crop cycles. The pattern of abundance of species wi...
