Abstract

Most of the pesticides applied in various areas around the world and in our country are known to affect non-targeted organisms causing their death. For this reason, a new class of pesticides specific only for the targeted organism that does not harm the others is needed. Neonicotinoids, known as insecticide classes, have been used since 1980 to meet this requirement. In this study, Imidacloprid and Acetamiprid, commonly used neonicotinoids in pest management, were investigated for their chronic effects on the longevity of Drosophila melanogaster. Both insecticides were added to the Standard Drosophila Medium at different doses (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 ppm). The male and female individuals of the wild type D. melanogaster Oregon R were chronically exposed to the insecticides in these application groups. It was determined that the mean lifespan of the female and male D. melanogaster populations decreased with the increasing concentrations of Imidacloprid and Acetamiprid in comparison to the control group. When the maximum and average lifespan values of the control and application groups were compared, the difference was found to be statistically significant with p<0.05.

新烟碱类对黑腹果蝇雌雄种群寿命的影响

众所周知，在世界各地和我国各个地区使用的大多数农药会影响非目标生物，导致它们死亡。因此，需要一种新的杀虫剂，只针对目标生物，而不伤害其他生物。新烟碱类杀虫剂自1980年开始使用，以满足这一要求。本文研究了新烟碱类杀虫剂吡虫啉和啶虫脒对黑腹果蝇寿命的慢性影响。将两种杀虫剂以不同剂量(0.5、1.0、1.5和2.0 ppm)添加到标准果蝇培养基中。野生型黑腹田鼠雄性和雌性个体长期暴露于不同施用组的杀虫剂中。结果表明，与对照组相比，随着吡虫啉和啶虫啉浓度的增加，雌性和雄性黑腹田鼠种群的平均寿命缩短。对照组和应用组的最大寿命值和平均寿命值比较，差异有统计学意义，p<0.05。

期刊介绍： Cessation. Ekoloji is an international journal that focuses on papers that report results from original research on all disciplines engaged in the field of environmental research. We welcome articles that cover the entire spectrum of environmental problems and environmental pollutants, whether chemical, biological or physical. Its coverage extends to all environmentally related issues: air and water pollution, solid waste, noise, recycling, natural resources, ecology and environmental protection. It includes articles on basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering and environmental health. All types of pollution are covered, including atmospheric pollutants, detergents, fertilizers, industrial effluents, metals, mining wastes, oil, pesticides, plastics, radioactive materials and sewage. It also includes research papers on ecological and environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity. The primary criteria for publication are scientific quality and ecological/environmental significance. The journal will be read and contributed to by biologists, applied ecologists, environmental scientists, natural resource specialists, environmental engineers, environmental health specialists, agro-ecologists, veterinaries, agricultural engineers, landscape planners and designers. The journal welcomes full "research papers" and short "research notes", only in the English language.
