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 has shown regrowth in reestablished South Carolina longleaf pine savannah communities that were agriculturally disturbed, making it an indicator species for post-agricultural woodlands.[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, Ampelopsis arborea has been observed to host members of the family Lygaeidae Lygaeus kalmii and Oncopeltus fasciatus.[5]
