Popis: | The development of cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabricius) (Col., Bruchidae), and its parasitoid, Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard) (Hym., Pteromalidae), under nine constant temperatures and the best linear and non-linear models describing the temperature-development relationships of the host and its parasitoid were determined. The pre-imaginal developmental time decreased with increasing temperature from 15° C to 35° C for both species and sexes. Based on the best-fitted linear model, the lower developmental threshold and the thermal constant were determined as 10.4° C and 526.3 degree-days for C. maculatus and 11.5° C and 263.2 degree-days for A. calandrae, respectively. Fifteen non-linear temperature-dependent models were examined to find the best model to describe the relationship between temperature and development rate of C. maculatus and A. calandrae. Among non-linear models, the Analytis model was the most efficient for the description of temperature-dependent development of C. macula... |
