abstract

predation rate is basic to any investigation of prey-predator interaction and a major component in the selection of predators for biological control. the predation rate of variegated lady beetle, hippodamia variegata (goze), fed on different densities (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100) of third instar nymphs of cotton aphid, aphis gossypii glover, was studied under laboratory conditions (25 ± 1 °c, 65 ± 5% rh and a photoperiod of 16l: 8d h). the net predation rates (c0) using age-stage, two sex life tables for 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 aphids were calculated as 1547.50, 4011.91, 4450.78, 5300.20, 5305.73 prey nymphs, respectively. the mean consumption rates for male and female predators increased as prey density increased. the predation rate for both sexes also increased with increasing prey density. the lowest and highest predation rates for female were 1547.50 and 5305.73 prey nymphs at densities of 20 and 100 aphids, respectively. the transformation rate from prey population to predator offspring (qp) decreased as prey density increased. it was concluded that any increase in the density of third instar nymphs of a. gossypii will result in significant effects on predation parameters of h. variegata.

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...

host plant effect on functional response and consumption rate of episyrphus balteatus (diptera: syrphidae) feeding on different densities of aphis gossypii (hemiptera: aphididae)of aphis gossypii (hemiptera: aphididae)

one of the most important predator-prey interactions is functional response which its type and parameters are affected by different factors including host plant characteristics. in this research, the influence of leaf surface on functional response and prey consumption rate of third instar larvae of the episyrphus balteatus (de geer, 1776) (diptera: syrphidae) to third instar nymphs of aphis go...

Morphological discrimination of Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) populations feeding on Compositae.

Aphis gossypii Glover is a polyphagous aphid pest with a worldwide distribution. However, there is evidence that on a global scale the name A. gossypii is being applied to a number of forms with different life cycles and/or host-plant associations. Morphometric variation of A. gossypii samples from crops and non-cultivated plants in many parts of the world was examined, to determine whether thi...
