Abstract

Carbon dioxide increased by 9-fold on the average the number of Tabanus quinquevittatus Wiedemann females collected in canopy traps without affecting parity rates, prevalence of sperm and fructose, and stage of terminal follicle development within nullipars, pars, or both groups together. Results were consistent whether the 2 years were pooled or considered separately.

Résumé

L’addition de bioxyde de carbone a augmenté de neuf fois en moyenne le nombre de femelles de Tabanus quinquevittatus Wiedemann récoltées de pièges canopy sans affecter les taux de parité, la présence de sperme et de fructose, et le stade de développement des follicules terminaux à l’intérieur des nullipares, des pares, et des deux groupes réunis. Les résultats furent semblables que les 2 années soient groupées ou considérées séparément.
