PREDATORY INSECT SPECIES ASSOCIATED WITH SOME ROSACEOUS PLANTS IN EDİRNE (TRAKYA UNIVERSITY ARBORETUM), TURKEY

Abstract

This study was performed to determine the predatory insects associated with Rosaceae species. Field surveys were carried out in March-June 2013 in Edirne province (Trakya University Arboretum) of European Turkey. Predatory insects were observed and collected in different stages of their life cycles, and larval-pupal samples were reared in laboratory conditions. As a result of this study, predatory insect species which are inhabitants of the Rosaceae species to provide their preys were recorded and 11 predatory insects belonging to 6 families (Chrysopidae, Coccinellidae, Formicidae, Geocoridae, Pentatomidae, Syrphidae) were determined on 5 Rosaceae species. The observations and short information about the recorded species were also presented.

Edirne Civarinda (Trakya Üniversitesi Arboretumu) Bazı Rosaceae Bitkileri ile Birlikteliğe Sahip Predatör Böcek Türleri

Abstract

Rosaceae türleri ile etkileşime sahip predatör böcek türlerini belirlemek amacıyla, 2013 yılı Mart-Haziran periyodunda, Trakya Bölgesi sınırları içinde yer alan Edirne ilinde (Trakya Üniversitesi Arboretumu) arazi çalışması ve toplanan örneklerle ilgili olarak laboratuar çalışması yapılmıştır. Arazi çalışması sırasında predatör böcekler çeşitli yaşam evrelerinde gözlemlenmiş ve toplanmıştır. Toplanan örneklerden larva/pupa aşamasında olanlar laboratuar şartlarında yetiştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda alanda bulunan Rosaceae türleri üzerinde konaklayan ve besinini sağlayan predatör böcekler tanımlanarak belirlenmiş ve 5 bitki türü üzerinde, 6 familyaya ait 11 predatör böcek türü (Chrysopidae, Coccinellidae, Formicidae, Geocoridae, Pentatomidae, Syrphidae) kaydedilmiştir. Tespit edilen türler hakkında yapılan gözlemler ve kısa literatür bilgileri de belirtilmiştir.
