BÖCEK BESLENME EKOLOJİSİNİN GENEL PRENSİPLERİ

Böceklerin beslenme ekolojilerinin iyi bilinmesi, onların biyoloji, davranış, doğal ecosistem ve agroekosistemlerinin anlaşılmasının ön koşulunu oluşturmaktadır. Büyüme ve üreme için gerekli olan böcek beslenme koşulları yıllardır bilinmesine rağmen sadece az sayıda böcek üzerinde beslenme koşulları ayrıntılı olarak çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışmalarda bile böceklerin beslenme koşullarındaki olağanüstü farklılıklar ortaya konulmuştur. Böceklerle yapılacak çalışmalarda, böcek beslenme koşullarının bilinmesi çok önemlidir. Beslenme ekolojisi, hem temel hemde uygulamalı olarak böcek davranışlarının ve değişik yaşam koşullarına olan adaptasyonlarının anlaşılmasında çok önemlidir. Bu derlemede, böcek beslenme ökolojisi, spesifik beslenme gereksinimleri, beslenmeyi arttırıcı ve azaltıcı faktörler sunulmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Böcek beslenmesi, böcek beslenme ekolojisi, beslenmeyi arttırıcı maddeler, beslenmeyi azaltıcı maddeler

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF INSECT NUTRITIONAL ECOLOGY

A comprehensive knowledge of the nutritional ecology of insects is a requirement to understand their biology, behavior, and impact in natural ecosystems and agro-ecosystems. Although, major insect nutritional requirements for growth and reproduction are known for years, only a few dozen insects have been studied to learn their nutritional requirements. Extraordinary nutritional requirements were found in a few insects from even these few studies. It is important to understand comparative nutritional requirements in order to study insects. Nutritional ecology is a useful way to synthesize research on both the basic and applied aspects of insect behavior, and it allows us to achieve a better understanding of the evolution of different lifestyles. In this review, emphasis will be placed on insect nutritional ecology, requirements for specific nutrients, phagostimulants, and feeding deterrents.

Keywords:

Insect nutrition, insect nutritional ecology, phagostimulants, feeding deterrents,
