Apanteles galleriae Wilkinson (Hym.; Braconidae)' nin bazı biyolojik özelliklerine konak türün etkileri

Koinobiont ve soliter, erken evre larva endoparazitoiti olan Apanteles galleria Wilkinson; Büyük Balmumu Güvesi, Calleria mellonella (L.) ve Küçük Balmumu Güvesi, Achroia grisella Fabr. konakları üzerinde 25°C sıcaklık, %60 nisbi nem ve 12:12 (A: K) fotoperyot uygulanan laboratuvar şartlarında yetiştirilmiştir. Parazitoit, ergin öncesi gelişimini üç larval gelişim evresi geçirerek G. mellonella da 26-28, A. grisella da 25-27 günde tamamlamıştır. Ergin parazitoitin yumurtlama öncesi dönemi yoktur. Bir dişi ergin hayatının ilk 24 saati içinde 10-20 kadar yumurta bırakmıştır. Dişilerin ovipozisyon süresi 3-8 saniyedir. Erkek ve dişiler ergin oldukları gün çiftleşmişlerdir. Çiftleşme süresi, ortalama 23 saniyedir. Parazitoitin ergin boy büyüklüğü, yetiştiği konak türüne göre, ergin hayat uzunluğu erginlerin çiftleşmiş olup olmamasına ve cinsiyete göre değişmiştir. Çiftleşmiş olanlar, çiftleşmemiş olanlardan, erkekler dişilerden daha uzun yaşamıştır. Ergin hayat uzunluğunda mevsimsel varyasyon tesbit edilmiştir. Parazitoit, denenen konaklardan A. grisella'yı daha çok tercih etmiştir. Bu tercihte, aynı ortamdaki parazitoit sayısı etkili olmuştur.

Effects of host species on some biological characteristics of Apanteles galleriae Wilkinson (Hym.; Braconidae)

Koinobiont and solitary, early instar larval endoparasitoid, Apanteles galleriae Wilkinson were reared on two lepidopterous host species, the greater wax moth, Galleriae mellonella (L.) and the small wax moth, Achoria grisella Fabr. under a photoperiod of 12:12 h (D: L) at 25°C and 60 % relative humidity. The parasitoid with three larval instars completed its immature developmental period within 26-28 days when it was reared on C. mellonella and within 25-27 days on A. grisella. The adult parasitoid has no preoviposition period. In the first 24 houj;s of the adult female life span, 10 to 20 eggs were laid. The duration of oviposition of the females was 3-8 seconds. Adult males and females were able to mate soon after the emergence, and the average duration of copulation was about 23 seconds. The adult size of the parasitoid was variable depending on the host. The adult life span of the parasitoid was also variable depending on the sex of the individual and whether or not it had mated. Adults that had mated lived longer than those that had not, and male adults lived longer than females. Seasonal variation was found in the adult life span of the parasitoids. It is recorded that the host species and the number of parasitoids tested affected the host preference of the parasitoid. A. galleriae preferred A. grisella to C. mellonella as a host.
