Description
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, A. arborea can be found in river floodplains, wax myrtle thickets, hedgerows, coastal scrub savannas, and calcareous banks of drainage ditches.[2] Additionally, this species has shown regrowth in reestablished South Carolina longleaf pine savannah communities that were agriculturally disturbed, making it an indicator species for post-agricultural woodlands.[3]
Associated species include Vitis rotundifolia, Juniperus virginiana, Ilex vomitoria, Ilex cassine, Bumelia lanuginosa, and wax myrtle.[2]
Phenology
Ampelopsis arborea has been observed to flower between June and July.[4]
Pollination
Many insects from the order Hymenoptera were observed visiting flowers of Ampelopsis arborea at the Archbold Biological Station. These insects include wasps from the Leucospididae family such as Leucospis robertsoni, and L.slossonae, spider wasps such as Sericopompilus apicalis (family Pompilidae), and wasps from the Sphecidae family such as Cerceris flavofasciata floridensis, Isodontia auripes, I.exornata, Larra bicolor, Pseudoplisus smithii floridanus, Sphex ichneumoneus, and Tanyoprymnus moneduloides.[5]
Herbivory and toxicology
Ampelopsis arborea has been observed to host true bugs from the family Lygaeidae such as Lygaeus kalmii and Oncopeltus fasciatus.[6]
