Abstract

The number of eggs and mobiles (immatures and adults) of Amblyseius manihoti on entire plants was determined during a 10-month period in a cassava field located in the Bahia region of Brazil. Observed percentages of eggs, immatures and adults were compared to theoretical stable age distributions (58 % for eggs, 24 % for immatures and 18 % for adults). These comparisons served as a basis to discuss the influence of fecundity, mortality and migration on the age structure of populations.

Résumé

Un comptage des oeufs et des formes mobiles (immatures et adultes) du phytoséiide Amblyseius manihoti présents sur la plante entière a été réalisé pendant dix mois (soit 90 plantes analysées) dans un champ de manioc de la région de Bahia (Brésil). Les proportions d'oeufs, d'immatures et d'adultes observées au champ sont comparées aux distributions d'âge stable théoriques (oeufs: 58 %, immatures: 24 %, adultes: 18 %). La comparaison des distributions théoriques aux observées permet de spéculer sur l'influence de facteurs tels que la fécondité, la mortalité et la migration sur la structure d'âge des populations.
