Abstract

Frequency differences in the 2 different coloured forms of the 14-spot ladybird Propylea quatuordecimpunctata in the Edirne populations were investigated. The results indicated that black individuals tend to occur more frequently in the habitats than in shady habitats. The body length of the black coloured 14-spot ladybirds was significantly smaller than that of the yellow individuals. The pooled data consisted of 66 % black and 34 % yellow forms.

Özet

Bu çal›flmada 14-noktal› u¤ur böce¤i Propylea quatuordecimpunctata'n›n siyah ve sar› renkli formlar›n›n Edirne populasyonlar›ndaki frekanslar› araflt›r›ld›. Siyah renkli formlar›n direk olarak günefle aç›k olan habitatlarda, gölge olan habitatlardan daha yüksek frekansta bulunmaya e¤ilimli oldu¤u ortaya ç›kt›. Di¤er taraftan siyah renkli formlar›n, sar› renkli formlardan daha küçük oldu¤u görüldü. Siyah renkli formlar›n populasyonun % 66's›n›, sar› renklilerin ise % 34'ünü oluflturdu¤u hesapland›.
