          Abstract

          The objective of this study was to evaluate the functional response of Orius insidiosus preying on the third and fourth instars of Aphis gossypii nymphs that were reared on transgenic NuOPAL (Bollgard I Event 531) and conventional Buriti cotton varieties. Fifty O. insidiosus female bugs aged 12-24h were distributed into five different Petri dishes with different densities of A. gossypii (2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 nymphs per plate) for each cotton variety. The number of prey consumed was evaluated over the course of 12h, with a final assessment at 24h. The handling times (Th) and attack rates (a) were 0.0697h and 1.1862h-1, respectively, for the Buriti variety and 0.0713h and 0.3030h-1, respectively, for the NuOPAL variety. The average number of prey consumed by O. insidiosus was similar for both varieties at 24h and at higher densities; the attack rate was higher for the Buriti-reared aphid prey than for the NuOPAL-reared aphids.

          O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resposta funcional de Orius insidiosus que predaram ninfas de terceiro e quarto instar de Aphis gossypii criadas em variedades de algodão transgênico e convencional. Cinquenta fêmeas de O. insidiosus de 12-24h foram individualizadas por tratamento em placas de Petri. Diferentes densidades de A. gossypii (2, 4, 8, 16 e 32 ninfas por placa) foram testadas usando cada variedade de algodão. O número de presas consumidas foi avaliado durante 12h. Foi realizada uma avaliação final com 24h. O tempo de manipulação (Th) e a taxa de ataque (a) foram 0,0697h e 1,1862h-1, respectivamente, para a variedade Buriti e 0,0713h e 0,3030h-1, respectivamente, para a variedade NuOPAL. O número médio de presas consumidas por O. insidiosus foi similar para ambas variedades com 24h e com maiores densidades; a taxa de ataque foi maior com pulgões criados em Buriti do que criados em NuOPAL.

              Bionomics of the Anthocoridae.

              J Lattin (1999)
              The family Anthocoridae (Hemiptera:Heteroptera) contains between 400 and 600 species distributed worldwide, chiefly on the continents but also on oceanic islands. They are small (1.4-4.5 mm) and common to a wide variety of habitats. Many are found in cryptic habitats such as galls, several widespread genera are surface feeders on small arthropods (Anthocoris, Orius, and Tetraphleps), and others can be found in ant nests and, especially, under bark. Wing polymorphism is common in this family, often associated with the cryptic habit. Most known species are predaceous, though some take plant food as well (e.g. Orius insidiosus, Orius pallidicornis). A few of these are believed to be entirely phytophagous (Paratriphleps laeviusculus). Their small size and often generalized feeding habits have resulted in about 30 introduced species, mostly accidental. A few have been introduced deliberately as biological control agents (Anthocoris spp., Montandoniola moraguesi, O. insidiosus, Orius tristicolor, and Tetraphleps spp.). Most nonindigenous species seem to have been distributed as a result of human activities, especially commerce. The predaceous habits of many Anthocoridae have attracted the attention of researchers who work in agroecosystems. Integrated pest management programs often include these predators, which has given us greater knowledge about these species than those found in natural ecosystems. Exciting discoveries about the attractiveness to these bugs of certain volatile plant and arthropod compounds are opening new areas of investigation into their chemical ecology. The reactions of these tiny predators will surely become better understood as a result.
