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...

While the effect of several factors such as predator and prey size, morphology and developmental stage on intraguild predation (IGP) is widely investigated, little is known about the influence of diet on the occurrence and outcome of IGP. In the present study, the effect of the diet experienced during larval development on IGP between the ladybird Harmonia axyridis and the syrphid Episyrphus ba...

The chromatin of the lepidopteran Ephestia kuehniella was digested by micrococcal nuclease, DNase I and S1-nuclease combined with DNase I pretreatment. The resulting DNA fragments were analyzed by gel electrophoresis and compared with the DNA fragments of rat liver nuclei obtained by the same process. Extensive homology was revealed between insect and mammalian chromatin structure. The combined...

Abstract Background Egg parasitoids belonging to the genus Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) are important natural enemies that have been successfully used in biological control programs and mostly reared on Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Host quality is a crucial factor can determine parasitoid fitness. Main body Laboratory studies ...

Eggs of Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller), Cadra cautella (Walker) and Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) are host parasitoid Trichogramma pintoi (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) which is used in biological control pests. In this study, the species egg age preferences were determined parasitization performance adult female T. pinto. For preference, 1, 2, 3 4 days old eggs from three different hosts give...
