“…The assumption of the nutritional quality of different prey as food for generalist predators therefore contradicts with the results gathered. Similar results have been reported for other generalist predators such as Coccinella undecimpunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Clitostethus arcuatus (Rossi) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (Cabral et al, 2006;Yazdani and Zarabi, 2011). The nutritional value might differ among the prey species.…”

“…Extensive use of pesticides not only causes environmental contamination and ozone layer depletion, but also creates serious health problems in mammals and creates toxic conditions for beneficial insect species (Shaaya et al, 1997;Yoza et al, 2005). Hence, to reduce insecticide use, biological control methods such as use of natural predators, resistant varieties, and plants extracts are important in controlling pests in modern integrated pest management (IPM) programs (Kageyama et al, 2010;Yazdani & Zarabi, 2011;Yang, Zhu & Lei, 2012;Asare-Bediako, Addo-Quaye & Bi-Kusi, 2014).…”

Background The polyphagous predatory bug O. strigicollis is an active predator used to control thrips and aphids. The whitefly species Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum are voracious pests of different economic agricultural crops and vegetables. Method In this study, the Holling disc equation and the age-stage, two-sex life table technique were used to investigate the functional response and biological traits of third instar nymphs and adult female O. strigicollis when presented third instar nymphs of both whitefly species as prey. Results The results showed a type II functional response for each life stage of O. strigicollis when fed each whitefly species. The calculated prey handling time for different O. strigicollis life stages were shorter when fed T. vaporariorum than when fed B. tabaci nymphs. In contrast, the nymphal development of O. strigicollis was significantly shorter when fed B. tabaci than T. vaporariorum nymphs. Additionally, the total pre-oviposition period of adult females was statistically shorter when fed B. tabaci nymphs than T. vaporariorum nymphs. Furthermore, the survival rates and total fecundity of O. strigicollis were higher when fed B. tabaci than T. vaporariorum. There were no significant differences in any population parameters of O. strigicollis when fed either whitefly species. These results show that O. strigicollis could survive and maintain its populations on both species of whitefly and could therefore serve as a biological control agent in integrated pest management (IPM).

“…Tenuisvalvae notata sex ratio was not affected by either prey species or temperature. In addition, other studies with coccidophagous lady beetles have shown that prey or temperature typically does not affect the sex ratio (Omkar & Kumar ; Yazdani & Zarabi ; Satar & Uygun ; Sayed & El Arnaouty ). When we consider the reproduction of T. notata , the higher oviposition rate was obtained at 28 °C, which seems to fit very well within the temperature range from where this population was originated, the semiarid regions of Pernambuco State.…”

Temperature and prey assessment on the performance of the mealybug predator Tenuisvalvae notata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

et al. 2020

Tenuisvalvae notata preys upon several mealybug species (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), a group of worldwide pests including Planococcus citri and Ferrisia dasyrilii. Although the consequences of variation in temperature for the development and reproduction of insects are generally appreciated, the consequences of potential interactions between temperature and prey for predatory insects are not. Thermal requirements and predation rates were determined for T. notata at different constant temperatures with both prey species. T. notata larvae developed to adults in experimental conditions > 18 to <38 °C. The upper thermal limit for egg hatch was 34 °C and for pupation was 33 °C. Adults reared at ≥32 °C did not lay eggs and survived less than 1 week. Prey species did not affect lower temperature thresholds or thermal constants for development from egg to adult. Furthermore, prey did not affect a number of reproductive traits, but the interaction between temperature and prey affected changes in developmental times and oviposition rate with age. Predation rate of T. notata increased as a function of temperature, and T. notata adults generally consumed more nymphs of P. citri than F. dasyrilii. These findings indicate that T. notata is well adapted to the tropical and sub‐tropical temperatures and may prove useful for the biological control of some native and non‐native mealybugs.
