Dergi: Türkiye Entomoloji Dergisi, Vol. 32 No. 1, 2014

In this study, the mite fauna of stored apricots in Malatya, Elazığ and Izmir provinces of Turkey was determined. The samples were collected mainly from most important cultivated areas and exporting center during 2000-2002. Sixteen mite species belonging to 11 family and 13 genera were identified. All the obtained mite samples were evaluated in this paper. Frequency and occurrence rates and intensity of infestation are included.  sp. (Mesostigmata: Pachylaelapidae), Oribatula tibialis (Nicolet, 1855) (Cryptostigmata: Oribatulidae), Tectocepheus velatus (Michael, 1880) (Cryptostigmata: Tectocepheidae), Cymbaeremaeidae) and Scheloribates sp. (Cryptostigmata: Scheloribatidae) are new records for stored apricots in Turkey. Out of 601 samples, 133 were infested with mites and the infestion ratio is 22.19 %. Carpoglyphus lactis (L.) (Astigmata: Carpoglyphidae) was the most abundant species on dried apricots. The infestation rate of C. lactis was 69.14%

racon hebetor (Say, 1836) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), depo ürünlerine zarar veren bazı pyralid türlerin gregar, larva ektoparazitoitidir. Burada, B. hebetor’un iki konukçusundaki [Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) ve Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller, 1879) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)], protein, lipit ve glikojen miktarları belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, bu iki konukçu türünün yeni ergin dişi ve erkek parazitoitteki protein, lipit ve glikojen miktarlarına etkisi de araştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar, her konukçudaki ortalama protein, lipit ve glikojen miktarının konukçu büyüklüğü ile pozitif ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Büyük konukçu, G. mellonella, daha küçük konukçu olan E. kuehniella’dan daha fazla miktarda protein, lipit ve glikojene sahiptir. Dişi parazitoitteki protein, lipit ve glikojen miktarları konukçu türüne göre önemli derecede değişmiştir. G. mellonella’dan elde edilen dişi parazitoitlerdeki protein ve lipit seviyeleri, E. kuehniella’dan elde edilenlere göre daha fazladır. Bunun aksine, E. kuehniella’dan elde edilen dişiler, G. mellonella’dan elde edilenlerden çok daha fazla glikojene sahiptir. İki konukçudan elde edilen erkeklerin protein ve glikojen miktarlarında istatistiksel olarak önemli bir farklılık yoktur. Bununla birlikte, G. mellonella larvalarında gelişen erkekler, E. kuehniella larvalarında gelişenlerden daha fazla lipit miktarına sahiptir.

Bracon hebetor (Say, 1836) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a gregarious larval ectoparasitoid of several species of pyralids that attack stored products. In this study the protein, lipid and glycogen composition in two host species, Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller, 1879) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), of B. hebetor were examined. The effects of these two host species on protein, lipid and glycogen levels of newly emerged female and male parasitoids were also investigated. The mean levels of protein, lipid and glycogen per host was positively correlated with host size. G. mellonella had much more protein, lipid and glycogen than E. kuehniella. Protein, lipid and glycogen levels in female parasitoids significantly varied with host species. Protein and lipid levels were higher in female parasitoids emerging from G. mellonella than those from E. kuehniella. By contrast, females, reared on E. kuehniella, had much more glycogen level than those reared on G. mellonella. No significant difference was detected in protein and glycogen levels of males emerging from two host species. However, males that were reared on G. mellonella larvae had higher lipid level than those reared on E. kuehniella.

Cases of parasitism/phoresy were studied on the helophorid and hydrophilid (Coleoptera) material in East Anatolian Region (Erzurum and surroundings) for the first time. Five of 22 helophorid and three of 16 hydrophilid species were presented parasitism while two of 16 hydrophilid species were presented phoresy. Most cases of parasitism were observed in the hydrophilid species Laccobius gracilis Motschulsky. All aquatic mites were carried under the second wings. Main habitat characteristics, placed by the species showing parasitism/phoresy, were also briefly discussed

The harmful mite species and their natural enemies on trees and shrubs in recreation areas of Konya province This research was carried out to determine harmful mite species and their natural enemies on deciduous trees and shrubs in recreation areas of Konya province in 20052006. A total of 485 plant samples collected from 40 plant species were infected by mites. As a result, 11 phytophagous mite species were found, with 7 species belonging to 4 genera from Tetranychidae, Tarsonemus sp. from Tarsonemidae (Acarina) and 3 species belonging to 3 genera from Eriophyidae. The most common and widespread mite was Tetranychus urticae Koch (Tetranychidae) and Amphitetranychus viennensis Zacher (Tetranychidae) followed it. As predators of the harmful mites, 11 species from Coccinellidae, 2 species from Anthocoridae, 1 species from Thripidae, 1 species from Chrysopidae, 3 species from Tydeidae and 1 species from Stigmaeidae were observed. Among the predators, Stethorus gilvifrons Mulsant (Coccinellidae: Coleoptera) and Scymnus spp. (Coccinellidae: Coleoptera) were the most common and widespread species

Development duration and reproduction rate of the brown mite Bryobia rubrioculus Scheuten (Acari: Tetranychidae) were examined on two different apple cultivars (Golden Delicious and Starking Delicious) at 25±1 °C, 65±10 % RH and 16:8 L:D under laboratory conditions. Immature development time of B. rubrioculus was faster on golden delicious (18.5 days) than that on starking delicious (20.5 days). The survival time of B. rubrioculus was 14.2 days on golden delicious, while it was 18.8 days on starking delicious. Females laid on average 1.3 and 1.2 eggs per day and 14.2 and 20.1 eggs over their entire life time on golden delicious and starking delicious apple cultivars, respectively. The net reproductive rate (Ro) was higher on starking delicious (17.62 female/female) than that on golden delicious (12.54 female/female). Mean generation time (To) was longer on starking delicious (26.82 days) than that on golden delicious (23.87 days). Consequently, values of the intrinsic rate of increase (rm) of B. rubrioculus on the two cultivars were similar (rm= 0.107 female/female/day for starking delicious, rm= 0.106 female/female/day for golden delicious)

Zeytin (Olive europae L.) sofralık ve yağlık olarak tüketilebilen insan sağlığı bakımından önemli bir üründür. Zeytinin gerek Türkiye’deki gerekse dünya pazarındaki talebinin artmasıyla birlikte, ülkemiz zeytin alanlarında da önemli artışlar görülmüştür. Türkiye 649.350 hektar zeytin üretim alanı ile dünyada beşinci, 850.000 ton üretim miktarı ile de dördüncü sırada yer almaktadır (Anonymous, 2005). Türkiye’nin zeytin ağaç sayısı 1987 yılında 85.585.000 iken, 2006 yılında bu rakam 129.265.000’e ulaşmıştır (Anonymous, 2006). Akdeniz Bölgesi ağaç sayısı bakımından Türkiye’de üçüncü sırada yer almaktadır (Tunalıoğlu, 2002). Polifag bir zararlı olan karanfil yaprakbükeni, Cacoecimorpha pronubana (Hübner), 1796-1799 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)’nın özellikle süs bitkilerinde çalılıklarda, sebzelerde ve birçok meyve ağacında görüldüğü, İtalya, Tunus, Cezayir’de zeytinlerde zararının önemli olduğu bildirilmektedir (Ragusa, 1970; Wyoski & Izhar, 1976; Siscaro et al., 1988; Meijerman & Ulenberg, 2000; Anonymous, 2002).

Carnation tortrix, Cacoecimorpha pronubana ((Hübner), 1796-1799 was detected first in olive orchard of Seyhan (Adana) in April 2007. To determine its distribution in the Eastern Mediterranean Region and to observe its biology, the twigs infested with larvae and pupa were collected and reared to adult stage in the laboratory. C. pronubana larvae spun the terminal leaves or the buds of olive shoots with silken web to each other. The larvae fed between these two tender leaves at first and later then greedily on whole surface of the leaves. C. pronubana was distributed in olive orchards in Adana, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kahramanmaraş and Osmaniye provinces of the region. Since C. pronubana is a polyphagous pest and distributed in wide area in the Eastern Mediterranean region, it is considered to be an economically important pest in the future
