Temperature Dependent Development Of The Egg-Larval Parasitoid Chelonus Oculator On The Factitious Host, Ephestia Cautella, Hi̇lal Tunca, Cem Özkan, Ahmet Neşet Kilinçer
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Development, fecundity, and longevity of the egg-larval parasitoid Chelonus oculator Panzer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were studied on the factitious host, Ephestia cautella (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) at 4 different temperatures (15 °C, 20 °C, 25 °C, and 30 °C). Developmental time from egg to adult was inversely related to temperature. Egg to adult development time ranged from 188 days at 15 °C to 28 days at 30 °C. Complete development required 489 degree-days with a developmental threshold of 12.5 °C. Adult male and female longevity ranged from 43 days at 20 °C to 17 days at 30 °C. Maximum production of offspring …

Turkish Journal of Botany
Linum aretioides Boiss., a local endemic, is distributed only on 2 mountains (İzmir: Bozdağ; Denizli: Babadağ) at the western part of Turkey between 1630 and 2300 m altitudes, above the tree line. The studies were conducted on Mount Bozdağ above the ski complex between 1750 and 2150 m, and on Mount Babadağ between 1630-2300 m both located at subalpine zones. Four 8 × 8 m quadrats on Bozdağ and 5 on Babadağ were used for the experiments. The development of reproductive structures of plants and frequency of insect visits were observed from early May to late June in 2006 and …
