Abstract

The eggs of seven species of locally occurring coccinellids were reared at constant temperatures. The survival of eggs to hatching, rate, and thermal requirements for hatching were determined. The results were used to evaluate the importance of thermal adaptation of coccinellids in selecting them as biological control agents and in determining the relative species composition of locally occurring faunas of coccinellids.

Résumé

Les oeufs de sept espèces locales de coccinellidés ont été gardés à des températures constantes. La survie des oeufs jusqu’à l’éclosion, le taux d’éclosion et les besoins thermiques jusqu’à l’éclosion ont été déterminés. Les résultats ont servi à évaluer l’importance de l’adaptation thermique des coccinellidés qui doivent servir d’agents de contrôle biologique et à déterminer la proportion relative des espèces au sein des faunes locales de coccinellidés.
