摘要: Abstract Effects on development, survivorship and reproduction of Euseius mesembrinus (Dean) were studied in the laboratory using nine different plant pollens: ice plant, Malephora crocea (Jacquin); live oak, Quercus virginiana Miller; castor bean, Ricinus communis L.; cattail, Typha latifolia Spanish needle, Bidens pilosa grapefruit, Citrus paradisi (L.) Osbeck; ‘Sunburst’ tangerine, C. reticulata Blanco (hybrid); ‘Hamlin’ orange, sinensis pummelo, grandis Osbeck. Following eclosion, 100% adults developed 7.6 to 7.9 days when pollen bean or cattail was provided as single food sources at 27 ± 1°C. A total 30.8 30.4 eggs per female obtained oak pollens, respectively, compared 23.0 19.2 pollens used. Life table parameters were: mean generation time (T) = 12.38; net reproductive rate (R o) 17.17; intrinsic natural increas...
