Diurnal patterns of abundance of aphidophagous lady beetle species on chili (Capsicum annuum L.)
چکیده انگلیسی

The influence of temperature on the diurnal activity of five species of aphidophagous lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) was investigated between 0700 and 1900 h in chili (Capsicum annuum L.) agroecosystems and neighboring vegetation (goose grass, Eleusine indica L.). The lady beetle species observed were Menochilus sexmaculatus Fabricius, Coelophora inaequalis F., Coccinella transversalis F., Harmonia octomaculata F. and Coelophora bissellata Mulsant. More lady beetles (of all species) were found during cooler periods (at 0700, 0900, 1100, and 1900 h). The diurnal pattern of lady beetle adult was temperature dependent. On chili plants, numbers were higher at temperatures between 22 to 30 °C (at 0700, 0900, 1100 and 1900 h) and numbers decreased when temperatures were above 30 °C. When temperature was above 30 °C under the chili plant canopy, numbers were higher in neighboring goose grass, where temperatures were cooler (< 30 °C). Numbers of all species were negative correlated between chili plant and goose grass.

► Numbers of lady beetles in chili plants were influenced by temperature.
► Lady beetle showed bimodal distribution and higher at 0900, 1100 and 1900 h.
► Temperature from 22 to 30 °C within chili plant were favorable for lady beetles.
► During hottest period, lady beetles dispersed to neighboring goose grass.
