Comparative Life History ofLiriomyza trifoliiandLiriomyza huidobrensis(Diptera: Agromyzidae) on Beans: Effect of Temperature on Development

Biological aspects of the leafminer Liriomyza sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) on melon (Cucumis melo L.)

“…This larval survival was higher than the observed by COSTA-LIMA et al (2009) for L. sativae on V. unguiculata (84.8%) and the pupal survival was similar (78.8%). Literature presents a large variation on survival of larvae and pupae of Liriomyza (LEIBEE, 1984;LANZONI et al, 2002). However, worth pointing out that many biotic and abiotic factors can infl uence the survival rates of larvae and pupae (PARRELLA, 1987), like for example, the host plant.…”

Laboratory hybridization between the two clades of Liriomyza huidobrensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

“…So far, there has been some research on the development time of L. huidobrensis (Parrella and Bethke, 1984;He et al, 2000;Zhou et al, 2000;Lanzoni et al, 2002;Iwasaki et al, 2004). Taking into account the distribution of SC He et al, 2002), it is estimated that most data pertaining to the development times in the experiment mentioned above were revealed for SC, and the development times of SC seem to vary with the host plants.…”

Thermal requirements and development of the Korean population of the potato leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

“…Liriomyza huidobrensis overwinters as a pupa but does not enter diapause (Parrella, 1987). Lanzoni et al (2002) estimated the lower threshold temperature for pupa to be 7.3°C. Van der Linden (1993) reported pupa of L. huidobrensis can survive temperatures as low as − 11°C in The Netherlands, and the insect is certainly active all winter in some areas of the tropics and subtropics (Weintraub and Horowitz, 1995).…”

“…However, the thermal relationships of insects may vary among species, population, developmental stage, and with other ecological factors such as food sources (Aguilera, 1972;Prando and da Cruz, 1986;Van der Linden, 1990;Vercambre and De Crozals, 1993;Macdonald and Walters, 1993;Gilbert and Raworth, 1996;Lanzoni et al, 2002;Bybee et al, 2004). The host plants can affect the relationship between temperature and the development of Liriomyza trifolii (Charlton and Allen, 1981;Parrella et al, 1983;Leibee, 1984;Miller and Isger, 1985;Parrella, 1987;Minkenberg, 1988;Zoebisch et al, 1992;Nadagouda et al, 1997;Lanzoni et al, 2002). However, few studies have examined this type of relationship for L. huidobrensis (Neder de Roman and Arce de Hamity, 1984;Parrella and Bethke, 1984;Prando and da Cruz, 1986;Lanzoni et al, 2002).…”
