“…The aphid and parasitoid submodels have only one driving variable, temperature. No literature suggested that there was a direct effect of CO 2 on the parasitoid, so we assumed that parasitoids, like aphids, were unaffected by the CO 2 levels that we used in the simulation (≤700 ppm, van Epenhuijsen et al , 2002). Thus, in the model, effects of elevated CO 2 on the aphid and parasitoid populations are mediated by changes in the plant.…”

Biologists have been challenged to envisage the likely consequences of increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, and the suite of accompanying environmental changes (e.g. rising temperature, changing rainfall patterns, etc.) on our biotic systems. Research to date on plant responses has been extensive, but work on herbivore responses has been less complete, and work on higher trophic levels nearly nonexistent. One group of herbivores that has been reasonably well studied is aphids, and at least for this group, researchers have even begun to investigate responses at higher trophic levels, to include parasitoids. In this paper, we develop a mechanistic mathematical model of the general interaction between grasses, cereal aphids and their parasitoids. We used this model to investigate the interacting effects of rising CO 2 and temperature. The model suggests that, while parasitoids do have an impact on the aphid colony population dynamics, they do not fundamentally alter the aphid response to climate change. The model predicts that for both aphids and their parasitoids, the population responses to combined effects of elevated CO 2 and temperature will be more similar to current ambient conditions than we might expect from the individual effects of CO 2 or temperature increases. This interaction has important consequences for the interpretation of results from experiments that study only the effect of rising CO 2 .

“…A previous study with higher CO 2 (10%) CA failed to achieve complete control of unspeciÞed aphids with much longer treatments (14 d) at 5ЊC (Zheng et al 1993). Incomplete control of green peach aphid was achieved with 30% CO 2 and 5% O 2 in 40 h at 12ЊC (Epenhuijsen et al 2002). In comparison, complete control of N. ribisnigri and M. euphorbiae was achieved with 6% CO 2 in 4 d at 5ЊC in the current study.…”

Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the effects of vacuum and controlled atmosphere on mortality of aphids, Nasonovia ribisnigri (Mosley) and Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas), and leafminer, Liriomyza langei Frick, and on the visual quality of iceberg lettuce at three different temperatures. Vacuum at 50 mbar and controlled atmosphere with 6% CO2 were effective in controlling aphids and leafminer larvae. Complete control of N. ribisnigri and M. euphorbiae was achieved with vacuum treatments and 6% CO2 CA treatments at 5 degrees C in 4 d. Mortality was >96% when leafminer larvae were treated with vacuum and 6% CO2 CA treatments for 4 d. However, leafminer pupae were more tolerant to the treatments and highest mortality was close to 60% in 4 d with CO2 under vacuum. None of the treatments had negative effects on visual quality of iceberg lettuce. Results from this study are encouraging and warrant further and large-scale research.

“…Based on the review by Epenhuijsen et al (2002), mortality rate shown by Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) increased rapidly as the concentration of CO 2 increased from 60 to 90% at elevated temperatures between 38-42 °C. Furthermore, the developmental delay of cowpea bruchids was more severe under 2% O 2 + 18% CO 2 compared to 10% O 2 + 10% CO 2 (Cheng et al, 2012) .…”

Abstract. Tenebrio molitor has never been used as a model species for studying global warming effects. The objectives of this study were to measure the larval development and genetics of T. molitor under a free air CO 2 enrichment (FACE) system, open roof ventilation greenhouse system (ORVS) and a rearing room system (RR). The correlation coefficient analysis showed that the head width: body length was the best character to measure the development (0.465, 0.940 and 0.893) in all systems. Our results show that there were no significant changes in the larvae samples under RR condition, however, slight and moderate changes were observed under FACE and ORVS. Neighbour-joining analysis using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I sequence revealed the genetic data parallel with the results of the correlation coefficient. The FACE F1 progeny showed the slowest development (0.080±0.018 mm) during 0-14 days of larval development, while the most rapid before pupation occurred in the ORVS F1 (0.1205±0.0028 mm). No significant differences were noted between the systems for 0-14 days and before pupation, except for RR F1 vs ORVS F1 and ORVS F1 vs FACE F1 (p = 0.000, p = 0.002). These data can be used to clarify the changes in T. molitor due to global warming effects, as CO 2 could be one of the factors affecting the larval development.
