Effect of climate variability on Collaria scenica (Hemiptera: Miridae) on the Bogotá plateau ; Efecto de la variabilidad climática sobre Collaria scenica (Hemiptera: Miridae) en la Sabana de Bogotá

The aim of this research was to study the effect of climatic conditions on the population of the grass bug Collaria scenica (Stal, 1859) using agroclimatic models and analyzing its behavior under interannual variability scenarios related to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. The population fluctuations of this grass bug were modeled, estimating significant climatic variables in the presence of nymphs and adults with a multiple linear regression analysis. The population distribution of this insect in relation to the occurrence of the El Niño and La Niña phenomena on the Bogota plateau... Mehr ...
