Thermal tolerance of the rosy apple aphid Dysaphis plantaginea and its parasitoids: Effect of low temperatures on some fitness activities of Aphidius matricariae

This study aimed at evaluating the critical thermal minimum of the rosy apple aphid Dysaphis plantaginea and of two parasitoid species: Aphidius matricariae and Ephedrus cerasicola. In addition, we evaluated some fitness traits of the parasitoid at four temperatures: 20, 15, 10 and 8°C.

本研究旨在评估粉红苹果蚜虫（Dysaphis plantaginea）及两种寄生蜂物种——Aphidius matricariae 和 Ephedrus cerasicola 的临界热阈。此外，我们还在20°C、15°C、10°C和8°C四种温度下评估了寄生蜂的一些适应性特征。
