Temperature-dependent development model of Neoseiulus californicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae)
The developmental time and survival of immature stages of N. californicus were studied under laboratory conditions at nine constant temperatures (12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 38, 40℃), 60-70% RH, and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D) h. The total developmental period decreased with increasing temperature between 12 and 32℃, and increased beyond 32℃. Total developmental period of immature stages was longest at 12℃ (18.38 days) and shortest at 32℃ (2.98 days). The cumulative mortality of N. californicus was lowest at 24℃ (4.5%) and highest at 38℃ (15.2%). The normalized cumulative frequency distribution of developmental times for each life stage was fitted to the three-parameter Weibull function (r2=0.91~0.93). The relationship between temperature and developmental rate was fitted by five nonlinear development rate models (Logan 6, Lactin 1, 2, and Briere 1,2). The nonlinear shape of temperature development was best described by the Lactin 1 model (r2=0.98). The determined lower developmental temperature thresholds could be used to predict the occurrence, number of generation and population dynamics of N.californicus on fruit orchards and greenhouse
