“…As for the others, data refer to the estimations obtained for the development of immatures in constant temperatures, which are in disagreement with results observed in this work (Wells & Kurahashi 1994;Aguiar-Coelho & Milward-de-Azevedo 1995;D'Almeida & Mello 1995;Queiroz & Milward-de-Azevedo 1996;Milwardde-Azevedo et al 1996;Paes et al 1997;Marchenko 2001;Mascarini & Prado 2002;Gabre et al 2005;Krüger et al 2008) (Table I). With the exception of estimates for S. crassipalpis, S. chlorogaster and H. segmentaria (Bonatto 1996;Krüger et al 2003;Thyssen 2005), which are close to the data obtained in ambient temperature, the remainder of the species presents a development period larger than what would be expected from ambient temperatures.…”

ABSTRACT. Rate of development of forensically-important Diptera in southern Brazil. Dipteran larvae were collected from rabbit (Oryctolagus cunniculus L.) carcasses during the four seasons in 2005 in the southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The larvae were fed ground beef at ambient temperatures following collection from carcasses. The development of each species under these conditions was estimated. The most abundant species in the carcasses were Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann) and Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Calliphoridae), and they were found in all seasons. The data were fitted to a linear model that describes the relationship between temperature and linear developmental rating. These two species are primary forensic indicators in southern Brazil. Other species such as Hemilucilia semidiaphana (Rondani) (Calliphoridae), Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Wulp), Muscina stabulans (Fallen) (Muscidae), and Fannia pusio (Wiedemann) (Fanniidae) were forensically less important because they only occurred in high frequency in certain seasons and during the first days of carcass decomposition.KEYWORDS.

Larvas de dipterous foram coletadas em carcaças de coelho-doméstico (Oryctolagus cunniculus L.) ao longo das quatro estações de 2005 no extremo-sul do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. As larvas foram alimentadas com carne bovina moída e acondicionadas em temperatura ambiente. O desenvolvimento de cada espécie foi acompanhado nestas condições. As espécies mais abundantes na carcaça foram Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann) e Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Calliphoridae) em todas as estações. Os dados foram ajustados a um modelo linear da relação entre a taxa de desenvolvimento destas espécies e a temperatura média diária do ambiente. Estas duas espécies são as principais indicadoras forense no sul do Brasil. Outras espécies como Hemilucilia semidiaphana (Rondani) (Calliphoridae), Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Wulp), Muscina stabulans (Fallen) (Muscidae) e Fannia pusio (Wiedemann) (Fanniidae) foram menos importantes porque ocorreram em alta abundância em determinadas estações do ano no decorrer dos primeiros dias de decomposição.

“…under laboratory conditions which can be correlated to natural conditions (Muthukrishnan et al, 1995) and to schedule period of intervals for parasitoid releases. Life table computation helps in studying the population dynamics of the insect species and is an analytical tool which provide a description of the survivorship, development, etc., and reveal the maximum growth potential of a population (Gabre et al, 2004).…”

A laboratory experiment was conducted at the Biocontrol laboratory, Coconut Research Station, Aliyarnagar to study the life table parameters of Bracon brevicornis Wesmael, a parasitoid of the coconut blackheaded caterpillar, Opisina arenosella Walker on its established laboratory host, Corcyra cephalonica Stainton. Studies at 28.3±0.1 ºC and 59.6±0.6% r.h. revealed that the net reproductive rate (R o ) of B. brevicornis was 39.52 females/female when reared on C. cephalonica larvae. The precise generation time (T) was 13.33 days. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (r m ) was 0.2758 which was slightly higher than the innate capacity for increase (r c =0.2504). The weekly multiplication rate was 6.893 numbers while 1561.83 females could be expected in the F 2 generation. Higher net reproductive rate, coupled with shorter population doubling time of B. brevicornis indicate the efficacy of the parasitoid as a suitable candidate for the management of coconut black headed caterpillar, O. arenosella, its intended host under field conditions.

“…Establishing life and fecundity tables of predators and prey are fundamental to evaluate the efficiency and potentiality of a natural enemy on a specific pest (Naranjo, 2001;Gabre et al, 2005;Vantornhout et al, 2005;OzmanSullivan, 2006;Collier et al, 2007;Reis et al, 2007;Ferrero et al, 2007;Broufas et al, 2007). The abovementioned information along with consumption registers generate assumptions of potential predator efficiency in the orchard (Chi and Yang, 2003;Kishimoto, 2003;Hosseini et al, 2005;Gotoh et al, 2006).…”

“…The potential of the predators on their prey (De Vis et al, 2006b) can be estimated through population models and the construction of life tables, thus obtaining data about survival, longevity, reproduction, and descendants of the arthropod populations (Yu et al, 2005;Gabre et al, 2005;Yang and Chi, 2006;Ozman-Sullivan, 2006;Ferrero et al, 2007). Food quality has a great influence on the formulation of biological parameters since it is indispensable to recognize the predator's consumption in each stage of the pest in order to predict its effectiveness as a natural enemy (Kishimoto, 2003;Gotoh et al, 2006;Collier et al, 2007), and potential impact on the prey (Hosseini et al, 2005).…”

Life Table Parameters and Consumption Rate of Cydnodromus picanus Ragusa, Amblyseius graminis Chant, and Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt) on Avocado Red Mite Oligonychus yothersi (McGregor) (Acari: Phytoseiidae, Tetranychidae)

The avocado red mite Oligonychus yothersi (McGregor) is the major leaf pest in Chile's avocado orchards. It affects leaf physiology and makes it necessary to seek new natural enemies to interact with low population densities of O. yothersi. The potentiality of three predator mites: Cydnodromus picanus Ragusa, Amblyseius graminis Chant, and Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt) was evaluated under laboratory conditions (27 ± 1.93 ºC, 87 ± 3.61% H.R. and 16:8 (L:D) photoperiod) on avocado leaf disks Persea americana Mill. var. Hass (Ø = 5 cm) by separately feeding eggs, immature, and adult females of O. yothersi, and registering postembryonic development, consumption, as well as life table parameters. The postembryonic development of C. picanus was significantly lower (5.46 days) compared to both A. graminis (7.33 days) and G. occidentalis (8.69 days) which were fed with immature O. yothersi. The life table parameters of C. picanus were net reproductive rate R0 = 25.41, finite rate of increase λ = 1.29, and mean generation time T = 12.46. The net intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was significantly higher for C. picanus (rm = 0.25) in contrast with G. occidentalis (rm = 0.19), while A. graminis showed rm = -0.06 indicating that its population didn't have descendants. Under laboratory conditions, rm registered by C. picanus is an indicator of its predatory potential to control O. yothersi. It can be assumed that the pest population reduction pattern could be maintained under field conditions.
