Efeito do tipo de substrato para pupação na dispersão larval pós-alimentar de Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera, Calliphoridae)

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Effect of the substrate for pupation in the postfeeding larval dispersal of Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae). Blowflies utilize discrete and ephemeral sites for breeding and larval nutrition. After the exhaustion of food, the larvae begin dispersing to search for pupation sites or for additional food sources, a process referred to as postfeeding larval dispersal. However the nature of the substrate can affect this process. Some of the most important aspects of this behavior were here inves… Show more

“…Teneral flies were found resting on surfaces throughout the house. The distance postfeeding larvae travel has been shown to depend on many parameters, such as substrate type (68), species (69,70), competition (71), predation (72,73), as well as abiotic factors (3,74) and endogenous rhythms (75). In this case, the major factor impacting dispersal distance was most notably the substrate type.…”

“…O maior deslocamento de larvas menores (mais leves) já foi relatado na literatura (Gomes et al 2002, Gomes & Von Zuben 2004, sendo sugerido que esse comportamento ocorre devido à procura por nova fonte de alimento para que a larva possa atingir o peso minimo necessário para completar seu desenvolvimento (Gomes et al 2002). Ainda, é provável que as larvas mais leves movimentem-se por distâncias mais longas não somente porque não alcançaram o peso mínimo para a pupariação, mas por não apresentarem capacidade de competir por alimento com larvas maiores e mais aptas (Gomes et al 2007).…”
