The predatory mirids Ramber (Heteroptera: Miridae) and Reuter (Heteroptera: Miridae) are used for the biological control of Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) and other pests in tomato greenhouses. The functional response of 1-day-old (young) and 10-day-old (old) adult females and males of and on eggs of was determined on tomato at two temperatures (20 °C and 25 °C) and LD 16:8. Females of exhibited higher predation efficiency than males at both tested temperatures. Young females had a higher efficiency than old ones, whereas males had a low efficiency irrespective of age. The predation efficiency of was high (but lower than ) in both young females and males, although old females had a higher efficiency than the respective males. Our results show that the two predatory species have different functional response characteristics to their prey depending mainly on sex and age, which may affect their role as biological control agents.
掠食性盲蝽Ramber（半翅目：盲蝽科）和Reuter（半翅目：盲蝽科）被用于番茄温室中对Meyrick（鳞翅目：麦蛾科）及其他害虫的生物防治。在两种温度（20℃和25℃）以及16:8的光暗周期条件下，在番茄上测定了1日龄（年轻）和10日龄（年老）的Ramber和Reuter成年雌虫和雄虫对Meyrick卵的功能反应。在两个测试温度下，Ramber雌虫的捕食效率均高于雄虫。年轻的Ramber雌虫效率高于年老的，而雄虫不论年龄效率都较低。Reuter的捕食效率在年轻雌虫和雄虫中都较高（但低于Ramber），尽管年老的Reuter雌虫比相应的雄虫效率更高。我们的结果表明，这两种捕食性物种对其猎物具有不同的功能反应特征，主要取决于性别和年龄，这可能会影响它们作为生物防治剂的作用。
