متن کاملEffect of hunger level on prey consumption and functional response of the predator Macrolophus pygmaeus
A study was conducted to examine the influence of the hunger level on the prey consumption of Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur (Hemiptera Miridae) at varying densities of Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera Aphididae) through laboratory functional response experiments. Newly emerged adult females of the predator were subjected to 24 or 48 h of prey deprivation on pepper plant, as well as to 48 h only o...

Omnivorous Heteroptera constitute an important component of predatory guilds with high potential for biological control. Understanding the relative effects of plant feeding on the suppression of prey by omnivores could be an important element for improving biological control strategies. In the current paper, the effects of different plant food sources on the predation rate of the omnivorous pre...
متن کاملAnalysis of the population structure of Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) (Hemiptera: Miridae) in the Palaearctic region using microsatellite markers
Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is widely distributed throughout the Palaearctic region. The aim was to explain the current geographic distribution of the species by investigating its genetic population structure. Samples of M. pygmaeus were collected in 15 localities through its range of distribution. A sample from a commercial producer was also analyzed. A total of 367 M. p...
متن کاملEffects of irrigation levels on interactions among Lygus hesperus (Hemiptera: Miridae), insecticides, and predators in cotton.
Variation in plant quality and natural enemy abundance plays an important role in insect population dynamics. In manipulative field studies, we evaluated the impact of varying irrigation levels and insecticide type on densities of Lygus hesperus Knight and the arthropod predator community in cotton. Three watering levels were established via irrigations timed according to three levels of percen...
