Evaluación del comportamiento reproductivo de ácaros Varroa en colmenas de Apis mellifera de un apiario de selección
Main Article Content
Abstract
La falta de éxito reproductivo o Supresión de la Reproducción del ácaro Varroa (característica S.M.R.) no es más que el resultado de la entrada, a la celda de cría, de un ácaro que: (1) no producen progenie, (2) solo produce individuos machos, (3) produce progenie muy tarde para madurar o (4) muere antes que puedan reproducirse (Ritter, 1990; Büchler, 1994; Harbo y Harris, 2001). Esta característica es un importante factor de tolerancia frente a Varroa (Corrêa-Marques et al., 2003; Peabody, 2004) que regula el desarrollo poblacional del ácaro (Jagua et al., 1995; Harris y Harbo, 2004; Flores et al., 2006) y tiene una heredabilidad de 44 % (Harbo y Harris, 2002). Este trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar el porcentaje de ácaros que no se reproducen en colmenas de un apiario de selección.
