Abstract

Environmental factors, such as the wavelength of light, can have a crucial impact on mite development. Little is, however, known about the effect of visible light quality on demographic parameters of Phytoseiidae. We therefore conducted series of laboratory experiments in which development and reproduction of Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot feeding on Tetranychus urticae Koch eggs was investigated under various light conditions (white, blue, green, yellow, and red light). The results revealed that different light wavelengths influenced each developmental stage, with the green light conditions promoting longest pre-adult development. The longevity of both male and female mites varied significantly across light wavelengths, with the shortest lifespan observed under red light. The highest mean total fecundity, 16 eggs per female, was observed under white light conditions. Population parameters (R0, r, and λ) were also highest under white light and decreased with increasing light wavelength. These findings suggest that light wavelength plays a significant role in development, survival, and reproduction of the predatory mite, with white light being identified as providing the best light conditions for commercial production of P. persimilis.

可见光波长对柿树蝇（蛔虫：柿树蝇科）发育和繁殖参数的影响

光的波长等环境因素对螨虫的生长发育有至关重要的影响。然而，人们对可见光质量对螨类繁殖参数的影响知之甚少。因此，我们进行了一系列实验室实验，在不同的光照条件（白光、蓝光、绿光、黄光和红光）下研究了以 Tetranychus urticae Koch 卵为食的 Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot 的发育和繁殖情况。结果表明，不同波长的光对每个发育阶段都有影响，其中绿光条件下的成虫前期发育时间最长。在不同波长的光照下，雄螨和雌螨的寿命差异显著，红光下的寿命最短。白光条件下的平均总繁殖力最高，每只雌螨产卵 16 枚。种群参数（R0、r和λ）在白光下也最高，并随着光波长的增加而降低。这些研究结果表明，光波长在捕食螨的发育、存活和繁殖过程中起着重要作用，白光被认为是持久性螨商业化生产的最佳光照条件。

期刊介绍： Systematic and Applied Acarology (SAA) is an international journal of the Systematic and Applied Acarology Society (SAAS). The journal is intended as a publication outlet for all acarologists in the world. There is no page charge for publishing in SAA. If the authors have funds to publish, they can pay US$20 per page to enable their papers published for open access. SAA publishes papers reporting results of original research on any aspects of mites and ticks. Due to the recent increase in submissions, SAA editors will be more selective in manuscript evaluation: (1) encouraging more high quality non-taxonomic papers to address the balance between taxonomic and non-taxonomic papers, and (2) discouraging single species description (see new special issues for single new species description) while giving priority to high quality systematic papers on comparative treatments and revisions of multiple taxa. In addition to review papers and research articles (over 4 printed pages), we welcome short correspondence (up to 4 printed pages) for condensed version of short papers, comments on other papers, data papers (with one table or figure) and short reviews or opinion pieces. The correspondence format will save space by omitting the abstract, key words, and major headings such as Introduction.
