Abstract

Lead is one of the highly toxic compounds among the heavy metals and lead to serious problems on the organisms and ecosystems. The aim of present study was to investigate the lead impacts on some developmental parameters of forensically important fly, Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae). About 30 larvae of Musca domestica reared on diet that were exposed to four different concentrations of lead in present study, This experiment was carried out at the Zoology Department, University of Ondokuz Mayıs in 2020. Larvae of development rate, pupal and larval mortality, adult, and pupal weight were the recorded parameters. A one way ANOVA was used to compare life history parameters. Our results demostrated that lead decreased pupal and larval survival, and pupal, and adult weight. Larval development rate was decreased but pupal development rate was increased in Pb added diet. We concluded that life-history parameters of Musca domestica are sensitive to lead.

Kurşunun Musca domestica nın (Diptera: Muscidae) Büyüme ve Gelişimi Üzerindeki Etkileri

Abstract

Kurşun, ağır metaller arasında oldukça toksik bileşiklerden biridir, organizmalar ve ekosistemler üzerinde ciddi problemlere yol açarlar. Bu çalışmanın amacı kurşunun adli açıdan önemli bir sinek olan musca domestica 'nın (diptera: muscidae) bazı gelişimsel parametreleri üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Mevcut çalışmada 30 adet musca domestica larvası dört farklı kurşun konsantrasyonuna maruz bırakılmış besi yeri üzerinde yetiştirilmiştir. Bu deney 2020 yılında ondokuz mayıs üniversitesi zooloji bölümü'nde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gelişme hızı, pupa ve larva ölüm oranı, yetişkin, ve pupa ağırlığı kaydedilen parametrelerdir. Yaşam öyküsü parametrelerini karşılaştırmak için tek yönlü bir anova kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlarımız kurşun varlığının pupa ve larva sağkalımını, pupa, ve yetişkin ağırlığını azalttığını göstermiştir. Larval gelişim hızı pb ilavesi olan diyette azalmış, fakat pupal gelişim süresi uzamıştır. Musca domestica'nın yaşam öyküsü parametrelerinin kurşuna duyarlı olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
