Abstract Background This study was conducted to investigate life table characteristics of the parasitoid species, Goniozus legneri Gordh (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae), a major gregarious larval ecto-parasitoids carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zeller (Lep.: Pyralidae). Demographic parameters G. reared on two hosts, moth and flour Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), were studied...

Bkm sequences, originally isolated from snake satellite DNA, are a component of eukaryote genomes with a preferential location on sex chromosomes. In the Ephestia genome, owing to the presence of only a few Bkm-positive BamHI restriction fragments and to extensive restriction fragment length polymorphisms between and within inbred strains, a genetic crossbreeding analysis was feasible. No sex l...

Bu çalışmada, Fumigant olarak uygulanan farklı dozlardaki (1, 3, 5 µl/l-1 hava dozu) nane esansiyel yağının Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller)’in iki gelişim evresinin (son dönem larva ve ergin dişi) biyolojik parametreleri üzerindeki zamana bağlı etkisi incelenmiştir. Nane uçucu yağına maruz kalan son evre larvaların koza örme süresi, puplaşma pupal periyot, öncesi süresi ağırlığı ile birlikte bu di...
