Life table parameters of the pseudococcid predators Nephus includens and Nephus bisignatus (Coleoptera: Coccinelidae)

Life table of Paederus fuscipes (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae).

The life history characteristics of the rove beetle Paederus fuscipes Curtis were studied under laboratory conditions using three field strains from Malaysia: Desa Wawasan (DW), Sri Pinang (SP), and Ampang Jajar (AJ). The total development time of immature stages differed significantly among the three strains, especially between DW (17.43 +/- 0.16 d), SP (18.60 +/- 0.19 d), and AJ (18.68 +/- 0....

Effects of imidacloprid, dichlorvos, pymetrozine and abamectin, on life table parameters of the predatory bug, Orius albidipennis (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)

تأثیر چهار آفت‌کش (ایمیداکلوپرید، دیکلرووس، پیمتروزین و آبامکتین) بر آماره‌های جدول زیستی سن شکاری Orius albidipennis (Reuter) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. آفت‌کش‌ها در دزهای توصیه‌شده‌ی سازندگان مورد آزمایش قرارگرفتند. زیست‌سنجی با استفاده از روش قفس در شرایط کنترل‌شده‌ی C°1 ± 27 رطوبت نسبی %5 ± 65 و دوره‌ی نوری با 16 ساعت روشنایی در اتاقک رشد صورت گرفت. نرخ خالص باروری (Ro) در تیمار سن شکاری با آفت‌...

Comparison of Life Table Parameters and Digestive Physiology of Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) Fed on Various Barley Cultivars

In this study, the effect of 20 barley cultivars were evaluated on the life table parameters and digestive enzymatic activity of the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) under laboratory conditions (28 ± 1°C, 60 ± 5% RH, and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D) h). Among barley cultivars tested developmental time of R. dominica immature stages was longest on cultivar ...
