The effects of conspecific and heterospecific interactions on foraging and oviposition behaviours of two parasitoids of Diaphorina citri
Direct observation was used to construct activity budgets for Diaphorencyrtus aligarhensis (Shafee, Alam & Agarwal) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) and Tamarixia radiata (Waterston) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), foraging for nymphs of Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae). Two populations of D. aligarhensis were used in experiments: a biparental population from Pakistan a...
متن کاملLarval feeding on Bt hybrid and non-Bt corn seedlings by Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Coleomegilla maculata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).
Zoophytophagy is an omnivorous activity that occurs when a primarily carnivorous species feeds on plant material. Plant feeding by beneficial predators may have negative consequences if the plant material has been chemically treated, contains toxins, or was transgenically altered. Although common in predaceous Hemiptera, zoophytophagy has been rarely studied in aphidophagous coccinellids. This ...
متن کاملConspecific and Heterospecific Information Use in Bumblebees
Heterospecific social learning has been understudied in comparison to interactions between members of the same species. However, the learning mechanisms behind such information use can allow animals to be flexible in the cues that are used. This raises the question of whether conspecific cues are inherently more influential than cues provided by heterospecifics, or whether animals can simply us...
متن کاملPredation by adult and larval lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) on initial contact with lady beetle eggs.
Naïve adults and larvae of the native lady beetles Coleomegilla maculata (DeGeer), Cycloneda munda (Say), Hippodamia convergens Guérin-Méneville, Olla v-nigrum (Mulsant), and the exotic lady beetle Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) were tested for their initial response to eggs of these five lady beetle species and for egg consumption on first contact and after 3 h. Additio...
متن کاملOVIPOSITION AND PREDATION OF Pentilia egena MULSANT (COLEOPTERA: COCCINELLIDAE) IN RESPONSE TO TEMPERATURE
The species Pentilia egena Mulsant is an important predator of armored scales that occur in citrus orchards in Brazil. To intensify this biological control, knowing bioecological aspects in necessary for the improvement of massal insect rearing. This research investigated the influence of temperature (19C, 24C and 29C) on the number of eggs laid by P. egena and the number of Aspidiotus nerii Bo...
