- Artificial tritrophic exposure system for environmental risk analysis on aphidophagous predators Débora P. Paula Lucas M. De Souza David A. Andow Alex A.T. Cortês De Sousa Carmen S.S. Pires Edison R. Sujii Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) biosafety ecotoxicology exposure routes Beneficial insects We evaluated an artificial tritrophic exposure system for use in ecotoxicological evaluations of environmental stressors on aphidophagous predators. It consists of an acrylic tube with a Parafilm M sachet containing liquid aphid diet, into which can be added environmental stressors. Immature Cycloneda sanguinea, Harmonia axyridis and Chrysoperla externa, and adult H. axyridis were reared on Myzus persicae . Larval and pupal development and survival of all species and reproductive parameters of H. axyridis were similar to published results. The system provides a suitable tritrophic exposure route, enables ex-ante evaluation of stressors, and improves the accuracy of the assessment. 2016 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32746972035 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.88
