TY - JOUR ID - 721456 AU - Aspaly, Gamila - Stejskal, Vaclav - Pekár, Stanislav - Hubert, Jan PY - 2007 TI - Temperature-dependent population growth of three species of stored product mites (Acari: Acaridida) JF - Experimental and Applied Acarology VL - 42 IS - 1 SP - 37-46 EP - 37-46 PB - Springer SN - 01688162 KW - Mites KW - Grain KW - Temperature KW - Lower development threshold KW - Storage KW - Allergen N2 - The pest potential of stored product mites depends on the reproduction rate that is affected by the environmental conditions. In this study we investigated the effect of temperature, ranging from 5 to 35 C, on the population growth of three important mite species, Acarus siro, Tyrophagus putrescentiae and Auleroglyphus ovatus at 85% r.h. Starting with 10 individuals the population increase of mites was observed after 3 weeks of cultivation, or after 6 weeks for those kept at low temperatures (5, 10, 12.5, and 15 C). The rate of increase was calculated for each temperature and species. The obtained data were fitted with polynomial models. The mite population growth rates increased with increasing moderate temperatures until 25 C, when r m -values were 0.179, 0.177 and 0.190 for A. siro, A. ovatus and T. putrescentiae, respectively.
