abstract

coccinellids play a major role in aphid control. hippodamia variegata goeze is an aphidophagous predator of worldwide distribution that could be found in different parts of iran. one of the criteria for evaluating the efficiency of a predator is its response to change in prey population density (functional response). the functional responses of males and females of hippodamia variegata were studied at different densities of aphis fabae under laboratory conditions (23±1?c, 70±10% rh, and 16:8 l:d photoperiodism). experiments were carried out using the aphids of the same age on bean leaf disks in petri dishes and in 15-20 replications. after 24 hours, the number of hunted preys was recorded. the results revealed that both male and female h. variegata exhibited a type ii functional response to different densities of black bean aphid (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 45, and 60 for male and 2, 4, 8, 16, 40, 60, 80, and 100 for female adults). rogers’ random predator equation was employed in estimation process of searching efficiency (a) and handling time (th). the mentioned parameters were estimated to be 0.1589 and 1.1945 h for male and 0.0926, 0.4098 h for females, respectively. use of an equation with indicator variable revealed that there is a significant difference between handling times of females vs. males. based upon handling times, females vs. males could hunt 58.6 and 20.1 aphids per day, respectively, indicating that the hunting power of females is more than twice as much as males.

Functional response of larval and adult stages of Hippodamia variegata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) to different densities of Aphis fabae (Hemiptera: Aphididae).

We compare the efficiencies of different stages of Hippodamia variegata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) preying on Aphis fabae (Scolpoli) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) by estimating the functional responses of all stages. The experiments were carried out on leaf disks in petri dishes with 15-20 replicates. Our results revealed that all larval instars and adult males and females of H. variegata exhibited t...

functional response of adult male and female of hippodamia variegata goeze (col.: coccinellidae) on peach aphid

functional response, as describing the rates of predation in different prey density, and determining the predator efficiency, is important in the regulation of prey populations. the functional response of male and female adult of lady beetle, hippodamia variegata, was studied at different densities of green peach aphid under laboratory conditions on canola brassica napus l. (cv. rgs003). nymphs...

Laboratory Evaluation of the Toxicity of Proteus, Pymetrozine, Deltamethrin, and Pirimicarb on Lady Beetle Hippodamia Variegata (goeze) (col.: Coccinellidae)

The implementation of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program requires selecting and using chemicals which are least harmful to natural enemies. In this study, the acute toxicity of the recommended field concentration of four conventional insecticides was evaluated in reference to the different life stages (L3, L4 and adult) of the variegated lady beetle Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) (Coleop...
