Abstract
Orius tristicolor White was exposed to increasing numbers of the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), as prey. As the number of thrips increased from 0–735, the adult pirate bug mortality decreased and nymph production per O. tristicolor female increased. Similarly, the pirate bug nymphal survival was longer when more thrips were available as prey.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
