Temperature-dependent development of Chilocorus bipustulatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) on Aspidiotus nerii Bouché (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) under laboratory conditions

Abstract

Chilocorus bipustulatus (L.) is an important predator of scale insects that is widely distributed in citrus plantations in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. The developmental time of C. bipustulatus, a polyphagous predator, was studied at six different, constant temperatures (14, 18, 22, 26, 30 and 34°C) and a relative humidity (R.H. of 65±1%, with Aspidiotus nerii Bouché (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) as the prey. The developmental periods of immature stages were 61.67, 51.00, 41.21, 33.72, 26.76 and 27.17 days at 14, 18, 22, 26, 30 and 34 °C, respectively. The developmental threshold for C. bipustulatus determined with the linear model was 5.91. Linear regression was employed to determine the thermal constant of 651.1 degree-days.In this study linear and nonlinear regression models are discussed.

Öz

Chilocorus bipustulatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Akdeniz Bölgesinde (Türkiye) turunçgil alanlarında yaygın olarak bulunan önemli bir kabuklubit avcısıdır. Aspidiotus nerii Bouché (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) üzerinde beslenen C. bipustulatus‘un, nemi % 65±1’e ayarlı iklim dolaplarında 6 farklı sabit sıcaklıkta (14, 18, 22, 26, 30 ve 34°C) sıcaklığa bağlı gelişme süreleri incelenmiştir. Avcının ergin öncesi gelişme süreleri 14, 18, 22, 26, 30 ve 34°C sıcaklıklarda sırasıyla 61.67, 51.00, 41.21, 33.72, 26.76 ve 27.17 gün sürmüştür. C. bipustulatus‘un lineer regresyon modeline göre gelişme eşiği 5.91 °C olarak hesaplanmıştır. Lineer regresyon kullanılarak hesaplanan termal konstant değeri ise 651.1 gün-derece olmuştur. Bu çalışmada C. bipustulatus‘un sıcaklığa bağlı gelişme oranlarının belirlenmesinde doğrusal ve doğrusal olmayan regresyon modelleri tartışılmıştır.
