Data from: Temperature effects on development and population growth of two parasitoids (Hymenoptera) of the coffee berry borer (<i>Hypothenemus hampei</i>)

These data are from a study that evaluated the thermal biology of two key parasitoids of Hypothenemus hampei (Coffee berry borer; Coleoptera: Curculionidae): the larval-pupal ectoparasitoid Prorops nasuta (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) and the adult endoparasitoid Phymastichus coffea (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). Using age-stage, two-sex life tables across eight constant temperatures, we quantified temperature effects on development, survival, fecundity, and population growth. We identified 22-25°C as the optimal range for survival, and fecundity peaked at 25°C . Life-table parameters indicate maximal population growth at 25°C for both parasitoids. Development failed at extreme temperatures (32 and 35°C), highlighting upper thermal limits relevant to mass-rearing and field releases for both parasitoids. Degree-day models were developed to estimate the potential number of generations across Colombian coffee-growing regions. We predict 5.5-11.6 annual generations of P. nasuta and 2.2-8.6 of P. coffea, depending on local temperature regimes. These results identify optimal temperature ranges for rearing and deploying P. nasuta and P. coffea and provide spatially relevant predications for their establishment potential in Colombian coffee-growing regions. Regions with mean temperatures between 22-28°C are expected to support the greatest efficacy of augmentative biological control programs targeting the coffee berry borer.本数据集来源于一项针对咖啡果小蠹（Hypothenemus hampei，Coffee berry borer；鞘翅目（Coleoptera）、象甲科（Curculionidae））的两种关键寄生性天敌的热生物学特性评估研究，这两种天敌分别为幼虫-蛹期外寄生天敌鼻突柄蜂（Prorops nasuta，膜翅目（Hymenoptera）、肿腿蜂科（Bethylidae）），以及成虫内寄生天敌咖啡菲玛斯提寄生蜂（Phymastichus coffea，膜翅目（Hymenoptera）、姬小蜂科（Eulophidae））。本研究在8个恒定温度条件下，基于年龄-阶段两性生命表（age-stage, two-sex life table）量化了温度对寄生蜂生长发育、存活率、繁殖力以及种群增长的影响。研究确定22~25℃为两种寄生蜂的最优存活温度区间，其繁殖力均在25℃时达到峰值。生命表参数显示，两种寄生蜂的种群最大增长速率均出现在25℃条件下。极端温度（32℃与35℃）下寄生蜂无法完成发育，该结果明确了两种寄生蜂的高温耐受上限，与其大规模繁育与田间释放工作密切相关。本研究构建了积温模型（degree-day models），用以估算哥伦比亚咖啡种植区中两种寄生蜂的潜在年发生代数。根据当地温度条件的差异，预测鼻突柄蜂（P. nasuta）年发生代数为5.5~11.6代，咖啡菲玛斯提寄生蜂（P. coffea）为2.2~8.6代。本研究结果明确了鼻突柄蜂与咖啡菲玛斯提寄生蜂的繁育与田间释放最优温度区间，并为二者在哥伦比亚咖啡种植区的定殖潜力提供了空间相关性预测。平均温度处于22~28℃的区域，其针对咖啡果小蠹的助增式生物防治项目将可发挥最佳防控效果。
