Abstract

Developmental times were determined at constant temperatures for an Alberta population of horn flies, Haematobia irritans irritans (L.). Prepupal (egg and larval) developmental time was determined at seven constant temperatures and ranged from 8.9 days at 20.1°C to 3.5 days at 34.5°C. Prepupal development averaged 44.8% of the preadult (egg, larval, and pupal) developmental time. Preadiilt developmental time was determined at 43 constant temperatures and ranged from 41.6 days at 15°C to 8.4 days at 35°C. The relationship between preadult developmental rate and constant temperature was used in a model to simulate developmental times of horn fly immatures exposed to fluctuating temperatures. The model simulated adult eclosion times well. Deviations of simulated from observed (observed – simulated) mean developmental times averaged 0.4 (SD = 1.3) days, and were less than those found when previously published developmental rate equations were used.

Résumé

La durée du développement a été évaluée à des températures constantes chez une population de Mouches des cornes, Haematobia irritans irritans (L.), de l’Alberta. La durée du développement jusqu’au stade de pupe (oeuf et larve) a été déterminée à sept températures constantes et se situait entre 8,9 jours à 20,1°C et 3,5 jours à 34,5°C. La durée du développement jusqu’au stade prépupe représentait 44,8% du développement préadulte (oeuf, larve et pupe). La durée du développement jusqu’au stade adulte a été évaluée à 43 températures constantes et se situait entre 41,6 jours à 15°C et 8,4 jours à 35°C. La relation entre la vitesse du développement préadulte et la température constante a été utilisée dans un modèle conçu pour simuler les durées de développement des stades immatures exposés à des fluctuations de température. Le modèle permettait de simuler fidèlement la durée jusqu’à l’émergence des adultes. Les écarts entre les durées moyennes de développement simulées et observées étaient en moyenne de 0,4 jours (écart type = 1,3 jours) et étaient inférieurs à ceux trouvés en utilisant des équations de taux de développement publiées antérieurement.
