Název v původním jazyce

Seed requirements and consumption of Amara montivaga, a granivorous carabid (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this paper the requirements of the larvae of Amara montivaga Sturm, 1825 for feeding on seeds and its consumption of seeds were investigated. As this species is known to aggregate at sites where dandelion (Taraxacum officinale spp. agg.) is abundant and is shedding its seeds and these seeds are preferred by adult beetles in the laboratory, it is assumed that the larvae require dandelion seed to complete their development. In this study the larvae were reared on three different diets (insects, seed ofT. officinale and seed of Crepis biennis L.), and mortality was measured in order to test this assumption. Most of the larvae completed their development on both seed diets but none on the insect diet. In addition, the mean daily consumption of dandelion seed was estimated to be 1.86?0.16 in L1, 4.08?0.47 in L2, and 6.65?0.68 in L3, respectively. It is concluded that there is a close trophic linkage between A. montivaga and dandelion and/or other Asteraceae with similar phenologies. Thi
