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.[1] Associated species include Vitis rotundifolia, Juniperus virginiana, Ilex vomitoria, Ilex cassine, Bumelia lanuginosa, and wax myrtle.[1] A. arborea responds positively to soil disturbance by agriculture in South Carolina communities indicating it exists in a post-agricultural woodland.[2]

Phenology

Ampelopsis arborea has been observed to flower between June and July.[3]

Pollination and use by animals

Many insects from the order Hymenoptera were observed visiting flowers of Ampelopsis arborea at the Archbold Biological Station. These insects include members of the Leucospididae family Leucospis robertsoni, and L.slossonae, as well as Sericopompilus apicalis (family Pompilidae), and members of the Sphecidae family Cerceris flavofasciata floridensis, Isodontia auripes, I.exornata, Larra bicolor, Pseudoplisus smithii floridanus, Sphex ichneumoneus, and Tanyoprymnus moneduloides.[4] Additionally, members of the family Lygaeidae Lygaeus kalmii and Oncopeltus fasciatus..[5]
