Summary A field population ofEvetria cristata was studied in 10 plots in 1962 and in 6 plots in 1963. These plots were divided into 2 or 3 groups of different population
levels of the shoot moth in respective years. The survival of the insect was then analysed in these different groups of plots.
The survival rate ofE. cristata from eggs to adults in the first generation was found always higher in the group with low population density, which indicates
the existence of some factors that affect the population more severely when the insect is more abundant.Lissonota evetriae andPediobius sp. seemed to have killed more proportion of the hosts where the shoot moth density was high. However, the total effect of
the all natural enemies was not always great in the plots with high density of the moth. The survival of the second generation
of the moth in 1963 was observed to be much higher at any population level than in the other generations. 相似文献

Summary The three year (1988–1990) life tables ofNephotettix cincticeps were constructed, and the daily survival rate and longevity of female adults were estimated by Hokyo and Kiritani’s (1967)
method for the overwintering and the first-generations on the foxtail grass in Okayama, southwestern Japan. The life tables
and the population parameter values estimated were compared with those in the other generations on rice. The FARMCOP suction
sampler was employed to survey the population density.
The durations of pre-ovarial maturation of female adults of the 1st generation on foxtail grass and rice seedling were similar.
Longevity of adults of the overwintering and the first generations which emerged on the wild host was longer than that of
the other generations (2nd and 3rd generations) on the rice plants. Fecundity of females decreased successively as the generation
proceeded and it became lowest in the final 3rd generation.
Only about 3.5 percent of first-instar nymphs of the 1st generation emerged as adults in the fallow field. The survival rate
of nymphs on foxtail grass was always lower in comparison with that on rice plants. However, the survival rates of nymphs
on foxtail grass and rice seedling were not significantly different from each other under laboratory conditions. In the fields,
senescence of foxtail grass occurred in the midst of nymphal period of the 1st generation. The survival rate of nymphs on
foxtail grass decreased with the increasing in the nymphal density. Abundance of spiders during the 1st generation was higher
than that in the early stage of rice plants. 相似文献

Summary The population dynamics ofNephotettix virescens, a vector of rice tungro virus disease was investigated in a synchronized transplanting area at Jatisari (1984–1986), West
Java and in a staggered transplanting area at Sidan (1986–1988), Bali, Indonesia. The FARMCOP suction sampler was employed
for population censuses ofN. virescens and its natural enemies. The population growth pattern was affected by transplanting pattern: In the staggered transplanting
area, the population density increased from the immigrant generation to the first generation, and sharply decrease thereafter,
while in the synchronized transplanting area the population density often reached the highest peak in the second generation.
The degree of contageousness in the spatial distribution ofN. virescens was negatively correlated with population density of the immigrant generation.

Summary The number of larvae reaching maturity within the gall ofAdelges japonicus was positively related to gall volume, and the relationship between the number of mature larvae and gall volume did not change
with different densities of colonized larvae.
The population changes in the bud galls ofA. japonicus were surveyed by collecting the galls, which did not suffer predation or parasitism within the galls, from young artificial
plantations ofPicea jezoensis over two years. In the year when the density of colonized larvae was high, they suffered a 42% mortality within the galls,
whereas mortality was nearly zero in the low density year. The numbers of larvae per gall were positively correlated with
gall volume. The regression lines of the number of colonized larvae on gall volume did not differ significantly in the regression
coefficients between the two years, whereas the intercept was significantly higher in the year when the density of colonized
larvae was higher. However, different within-gall mortality nullified this difference, and the regression lines of the number
of mature larvae on gall volume had no significant difference both in the regression coefficients and the intercepts. This
suggests that the number of mature larvae per gall was limited by available resources within the gall which were positively
related to gall volume. In 25% of the galls in which mature larvae inhabited, the space within the galls were completely filled
by the larvae, indicating that space was one of the limiting resources. Gall volume also affected the number of adults that
emerged from the gall and the potential number of their progeny. 相似文献

The reproduction ofSogatella furcifera was investigated in a chemically fertilized rice field and an organically farmed field. In the latter, the density of immigrants
was significantly higher, while the settling rate of female adults and the survival rate of immature stages of ensuing generations
were lower. The number of eggs laid by a female of the invading and following generations was smaller, and the percentage
of brachypterous females in the next generation was also lower. Consequently, the density of nymphs and adults in the ensuing
generations decreased in the organically farmed field. For an experimental comparison, potted rice plants were cultivated
using seedlings and soil from the chemically fertilized or the organically farmed fields. WhenSogatella furcifera was reared on these plants, both the reproductive rate and the appearance rate of brachypterous female adults were lower
in the organic treatment. Egg hatchability was also lower in the organic treatment. This experiment suggested that a specific
nutritional condition in rice plants suppressed the population ofS. furcifera in the organically farmed field. 相似文献

Contest competition inDrosophila subobscura 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The role of larval intraspecific competition in laboratory populations ofDrosophila subobscura was investigated. Mortality is density-independent during the first 3 days after hatching but becomes density dependent as
development proceeds to pupation. Although total biomass per patch was independent of initial egg density, competition betweenDrosophila larvae leads to the formation of smaller pupae. This resulted in a population that was dominated by suppressed individuals.
Development rate ofD. subobscura larvae was not affected by high larval densities. Smaller pupae give rise to females with fewer eggs in their ovarioles.
A simple simulation model, predicting the effects of intraspecific competition on the fecundity of the nextDrosophila generation is described. 相似文献

Summary Population dynamics ofNephotettix virescens was studied in 17 paddy fields transplanted at intervals of about 1 month in 1988–1990. The adult density was highest either
in the immigrant or the 1st generation and sharply decreased to the 2nd generation. The survival rate of the 1st generation
was lowest in the transition season when areal population density increased. Key factor analysis revealed that the nymphal
and adult mortality of the 1st generation (kn) was the principal source of population fluctuations. No significant correaltion
was found between kn and natural enemy density, natural enemy density/healthy egg density, or the precipitation during the
nymphal period. On these bases adult emigration was suspected to be the key factor. Areal population build-up ofN. virescens in the transition season was considered to occur as a result of increasing immigration to young stages of rice.

Summary Sibling (cannibalism among siblings) and non-sibling cannibalism (cannibalism among non-siblings) were studied in a natural
population of a lady beetle,Harmonia axyridis
Pallas.
Of all the eggs laid (n=2269), 24.76% (n=562) were killed by sibling cannibalism and 36.10% (n=819) were killed by non-sibling cannibalism. Sibling cannibalism occurred constantly and intensively in most egg batches
throughout the entire oviposition period. On the other hand, non-sibling cannibalism was more intense in the middle and late
oviposition periods, and when the egg batches were close to an aphid colony. This may be due to the high density ofH. axyridis larvae relative to aphid density in the middle and late oviposition periods and also the larvae searching intensively near
an aphid colony. 相似文献

The population density of herbivores depends on the spatial scale as well as the temporal scale. In a small-scale, short-term
experiment, the number of individuals entering from the surrounding area will be most influential in determining the herbivore
density. In large-scale, long-term experiments, however, the density of herbivores will rather be influenced by the survival
rate of individuals inside the field because most of the herbivorous population derives from the parents that developed inside
the field. If we want to predict the large-scale long-term density of herbivores, therefore, emphasis should be placed on
the estimation of survival rate. To elucidate the effects of plant density on the large-scale long-term abundance of cabbage
pests, we examined the survival rates of three lepidopterous pests, the small white butterfly Pieris rapae crucivora Boisduval (Pieridae), the beet semi-looper Autographa nigrisigna (Walker) (Noctuidae), and the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Yponomeutidae) under two levels of plant spacing (sparse plot, 2 m × 2 m interval; dense plot, 0.5 m × 0.5 m
interval). The experiment with four blocks was repeated in two seasons. The number of eggs per plant was larger in the sparse
plots than in the dense plots for all species. The survival rate of eggs and larvae, on the contrary, was lower in the sparse
plots than in the dense plots. The lower survival rate of eggs in the sparse plots was mainly caused by the density dependency,
while the lower survival rate of larvae in the sparse plots was mainly caused by the direct effects of plant density. It was
thus suggested that the density of herbivores may become lower in the sparsely planted field in the long run because of the
higher mortality of larvae.

A population census was conducted to describe the effects of the growth stage of rice on the population dynamics ofS. furcifera, in particular, on immigration, seasonal abundance, population growth rate, and wing-form expression. The number of immigrants
was highest on rice plants 17 to 30 days after transplanting (DAT), which suggested that immigrants prefer to settle or remain
more on rice plants at the tillering stage (approximately 20–30 DAT). Population growth rate from immigration to the 1st generation
decreased with an increase in rice plant age. In contrast, population growth rate from the 1st to 2nd generation was not influenced
by rice plant age and was negatively density-dependent. The percentage of macropters (flyers) was positively related to the
growth stage of rice when rice was in the vegetative or early part of the reproductive stage, and reached 100% at about 10
days before heading (booting stage). Threafter, most adult females molted into macropters regardless of population density.
The roles of host plant age and crowding effect on the population dynamics ofS. furcifera are discussed. 相似文献

Summary We studied the interpecific competition between 2 species of predatory aquatic bugs,Diplonychus japonicus andD. major by conducting a field experiment. We set up 3 types of experimental plots in the paddy fields whereD. major predominated. The two plots contained single species of eitherD. japonicus orD. major, respectively, and one plot had both species in equal number. We compared the development and the reproductive performance
between plots in each species.
InD. japonicus, the number of eggs and early instar nymphs were significantly smaller in the plots containing both species than in the monospecific
plots. However, the numbers of late instar nymphs and newly emerged adults were not significantly different between plots.
The proportions of starved nymphs in both plots were larger than those in theD. japonicus's natural habitats. The final densities of adults in both plots were lower than those in the natural habitats. These results
suggest that lower density ofD. japonicus in these paddy fields is due to the lack of available food for nymphs rather than the effects of interspecific competition
withD. major.
InD. major, significant differences were not found in the number of eggs, each instar nymphs and adults. These results suggest that
the effects of interspecific competition did not affect the reproductive performance ofD. major. 相似文献

Summary Population dynamics ofHeliothis virescens (F.) andHeliothis zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) eggs and larvae were studied for two years in a small plot of cotton,Gossypium hirsutum (L.). Due to morphological and ecological similarities, the pooledHeliothis population was considered for most of the analyses. Two generations ofHeliothis eggs and larvae were completed during each year. Stage recruitment was estimated for the eggs and larval instars 2–6, and
recruitment variances were estimated by a Monte Carlo method. A modified form of the Weibull distribution was developed and
used as a model to characterize survivorship curves for each of the fourHeliothis generations. A Type I survivorship curve (mortality rate increasing with age) was inferred for both Generation 1 (early season)
data sets, whereas a Type II survivorship curve (mortality rate constant and thus independent of age) was inferred for both
Generation 2 (late season) data sets. The shapes of the survivorship curves for the individualH. virescens andH. zea populations were inferred to be the same as those for the pooled populations. Analysis of the contributions of various factors
toHeliothis stage-specific mortality indicated that natural enemies (predators and parasites) and the availability of food for larvae
were responsible for between-generation differences in survivorship patterns. 相似文献

An individual-based model forDrosophila is formulated, based on competition amongst larvae consuming the same batch of food. The predictions of the model are supported
by data for single speciesDrosophila populations reared in the laboratory. The model is used to build a simple discrete model for the dynamics ofDrosophila populations that are kept over a number of generations. The dynamics of a single species is shown to give either a stable
equilibrium or fluctuations which can be periodic or chaotic. When the dynamics of a species in the absence of the other is
periodic or chaotic, we found coexistence or two alternative states, on neither of which the species can coexist. 相似文献

Of the biotic factors potentially affecting the foraging behavior of pit-building antlion larvae,Myrmeleon bore
Tjeder, we focussed on the density effects and examined experimentally influences of larval density on pit construction behavior,
spatial distribution and pit relocation rate. Moreover the mechanism of mutual interference among larvae was examined.

Summary Mean egg cluster size ofLuehdorfia puziloi yessoensis varied among habitats. The mean egg cluster size tended to be large when abundance of the larval food leaves expressed as
the fresh weight of leaves per unit area at a given habitat was high. Since this variation was observed among closely located
study plots (butterflies can easily move between study plots), the egg cluster size variation among habitats is likely to
be a result of flexible response by females to varying food abundance for larvae. 相似文献

Summary The present paper studies how the female parasite ofKratochviliana sp. visits and attacks its host larvae of Ranunculus leaf mining fly,P. ranunculi at a single leaf visit. The parasite visited its hosts at random on the leaf. The frequency of host visits was independent
of the host density and the proportion of hosts survived from the parasite attack, in a leaf and its distribution was expressed
as a single straight line. It almost always attacked living hosts at the first host visit after isolated from them for one
day but with the rate of about 0.5 at the subsequent visits. In consequence, the relationships of the number of host attacks
and killed hosts to the host density drew satulated curves in each. A model of host attack by this parasite at its single
leaf visit was formulated by modifyingBakker
et al.'s model (1972) basing upon these observations and the attack avoidance by the parasite to already attacked hosts previously
reported.

Summary The contagiousness in the operation of mortality processes on the colonies of the western tent caterpillar,Malacosoma californicum pluviale, was analyzed from two different aspects: successive changes in the frequency distribution of the number of surviving individuals
per colony in the course of development, and the distribution pattern of the individuals killed by some biotic mortality factors.
Also, for a tachinid parasite,Tachinomyia similis, the analysis was made on the egg-laying pattern on colonies as well as on individual larvae. The methods of these analyses
were all based on the relation of mean crowding (m) on mean
.
A braconid parasite,Rogas sp., tended to kill few individuals together once it attacked a colony, but its effect on host colonies was rather equivalent
to the random removal of individuals from all the colonies. Diseases in the late-stage larvae before cocooning was contagious
in their action. Nuclear polyhedrosis virus seemed to have no basic contagiousness in its action, but it caused highly contagious
distribution of deaths among the colonies when its average incidence was high. A spore-formingBacillus had a tendency to kill several individuals once it appeared in a colony, but the distribution of its incidence (no. of times
it appeared per colony) was considered to be nearly at random.
The female ofTachinomyia tended to lay more than one egg successively on the same colony. It also attacked individual larvae with a definite tendency
for aggregation, which seemed to be resulted from the parasite’s preference to large hosts. When the number of eggs laid on
prefered hosts exceeded a certain threshold, however, the fly seemed to change its attention to less attractive, smaller individuals. 相似文献

Summary Annual changes in the population of the pine-moth,Dendrolimus spectabilis
Butler, were studied in Kashima district. The insect completes two generations in one year, and the adult emerges in early summer
and again in autumn.
The insect population showed fairly drastic fluctuations in the past years, and a conspicuous peak was recorded in three times,
in 1950, 1955 and 1961. It was noted in each of those three years that a great number of adults of the summer generation emerged
in autumn. The main reason for this great abundance of the insect population seemed to be high survival rate of the young
larvae in summer. It was suggested that the climate in July had powerful influence upon the survival f thos e young larvae.
The effects of natural enemies were usually the greatest on the egg population of the pine-moth in either generation. Much
greater number of insects in the overwintering generation was destroyed by parasites and diseases than in the summer generation.
Finally, a rapid increase of the insect population in autumn was considered to be caused by a combined effect of climatic
conditions and of natural enemies. 相似文献

In an insect host (the cowpea weevilCallosobruchus maculatus)- parasitoidHeterospilus prosopidis) experimental system, the population densities of the component species oscillated for the first 20 generations and then
abruptly stabilized as the parasitoid density decreased. Examination of the host and parasitoid after the 40th generation
in the long-term experiment showed that (1) host larvae exhibited contest-type competition (killing other larvae inhabiting
the same bean), in contrast to the founder population being scramble-type competitors and (2) the parasitoid attack rate on
the host did not change. There was also an evolutionary trade-off between body size and the rates of larval survival and development,
suggesting a cost of contest competition on larval survivorship and development. I tested model predictions (Tuda and Iwasa
1998) that (1) host equilibrium population size should gradually decrease as the proportion of the contest type increases
and that (2) random attacks of the parasitoid on the host should reduce the rate of increase in proportion of the contest
type, and the effect should become manifest especially during the first 20 generations. Two of three host-only replicates
showed significant decrease in population sizes. Although the density of emerging adults per bean did not differ between replicates
of the host-only and host-parasitoid systems, comparison of the host body size between them on day 270 (at the 13th generation)
showed that the host was more contest-type in the host-only system than in the host-parasitoid system, as the model predicted,
and later on day 650 the effect of the parasitoid had disappeared. 相似文献

Summary Two adjacent stations (H and L) were set up to study movement ofC. saccharivorus adults in sugarcane fields. At the beginning of the study the density ofC. saccharivorus including all stages of development was quite different between the two. The density of the first generation adult on Station
H was about 5 times that on Station L. The number ofC. saccharivorus on both the stations became almost the same one month after the beginning of the study. At the beginning of the study macropterous
adults were more numerous in Station H than in Station L. However percentage of macropterous adults on Station L increased
after one month whereas that on Station H declined.
About 2,000 marked adults were released on each station during the early period of the emergence of the first generation adult.
Marked insects were recaptured on both the stations one month after the release. The adults released on the dense population
(H) tended to disperse more actively than those on the scarce population (L). Marked macropterous adults moved more actively
than brachypterous ones. The density related dispersal of adults was considered to be an important factor to regulate the
population density. 相似文献
