Summary Adult populations of the sugi bark borer,Semanotus japonicus
Lacordaire, which attacks the trunks of Japanese cedar and cypress, were studied in two cedar stands in 1981 and 1984, using a band-trapping
method developed by the author.
Adults began to emerge and fly earlier in 1981 than in 1984 because of the higher temperature after hibernation in 1981. Population
size wasestimated by a markrelease-recapture method. The daily survival rate ranged from 0.86 to 0.92 and the mean longevity
from 7.0 to 11.9 days. Females were fewer than males throughout the season, especially early in the flight period, because
males consistently emerged earlier. The mean distances traversed among the cedar trees were 9.2 m for males and 16.3 m for
females; maximum dispersal was 79.5 m for males, 149.5 m for females. There are two different patterns in their dispersal
movement: the small-scale movement which consists of walking at cool temperatures and large-scale flight at warm temperatures.
Adults of this species are somewhat sluggish and between-tree movement is infrequent. This lack of movement resulted in a
contagious distribution pattern of adults. 相似文献

In May 1971, 45 adults of an herbivorous lady beetleEpilachna niponica (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) from Asiu Experimental Forest were introduced into a botanical garden of Kyoto University, where
is 10 km south of the southern limits of its distribution with being 3–5°C warmer than the original site. The introduced population
of the lady beetle was thus investigated from 1975 to 1981. Mark-release-recapture experiments were applied to individual
adult beetles, to estimate population size and daily survival rate. Overwintering adults emerged from hibernation around early
April, reaching peak numbers in late April to early May, then gradually declined to late June. No adults remained at the end
of June. Adult survival was maintained at a high level to early May, and declined consistently until late in the reproductive
season. New adults began to emerge in late June and quickly reached a peak in early July; thereafter they decreased in number
and had entered hibernation by late October. In spite of seasonally deteriorating food resources and heat stress in summer,
new adults showed moderately high survival during the inimical period. New adults which emerged later in the season tended
to be smaller in body size than those that emerged early. The proportion of females in the new adult population gradually
increased throughout the pre-hibernating period, suggesting that male-biased mortality occurred during this period. When compared
to the source population, the introduced population had a higher rate of population growth. Coupled with the improved population
growth, heavy leaf damage during the larval period suggested that intensive intraspecific competition was most likely to occur
among larvae in the introduced population. 相似文献

Summary A mark-release-recapture experiment to estimate population survivorship and absolute size was performed with wild-caughtAn. subpictus adults at the village of Khano-Harni, Lahore District, Punjab Province, Pakistan during September 1978, the end of the monsoon
rainy season, when temporal population abundance was maximized. Daily survival rate estimated from the recapture sequence
of marked adults was low, males=0.192 and females=0.343. Survivorship for females estimated by several vertical age-grading
procedures ranged from 0.347 to 0.628. Both stage- and age-specific life tables were calculated from vertical age-grading
data determined by the dilatation method. Female and male population size was estimated byBailey’s modification of theLincoln Index and was found to average 4478.4 and 6106.8, respectively. The bionomics, survivorship and population size ofAn. subpictus in the Lahore are indicated that this species was probably not important in the transmission of human malaria. 相似文献

Summary A mathematical model is proposed to describe the relationship between the abundance and the rank of species in order from
the most abundant to the least in a community in an open habitat. This model is derived as a corollary of a species-area equation
(Kobayashi, 1975) which could be expected in the case where the individuals of each species are uniformly distributed over a habitat
area. Numerical simulation reveals that a rank-abundance curve for a universe results in different species-area or species-individual
curves according to the spatial distribution of individuals, and that the relative abundance of each species in a sample varies
with sample size unless the spatial distribution of individuals is uniform. A species-individual curve obtained bySanders’s (1968) rarefaction method agrees with that observed actually only for the spatially uniform distribution. Change in the
pattern of rank-abundance curve with species diversity and with sample size is discussed in relation to the present model. 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

Summary The distribution pattern of ten species of Collembola was studied during the four years period from July 1971 to May 1975
in a pine forest soil.
The distribution patterns were analysed for two scales of distribution, i. e., the distribution over the plot of 10×10 m2 and the micro-distribution within a block sample consisting of 36 contigious units each 2×2 cm2 in area, by applying the
-m regression method.
The fundamental pattern which appeared was quite similar for the species examined and individuals were aggregated in response
to the heterogeneity of habitat conditions. The causes of aggregations were discussed with regard to some environmental factors.
The relative abundances of 10 species within the collembolan community was examined in relation to the habitat utilization
and the relative abundance was not related to the degree of aggregation but rather to the area occupied by individuals. This
suggests that the more numerically abundant species tend to occupy broader micro-habitat. Biological meaning of aggregation
was discussed in connection with the population biology and community organization of collembola. 相似文献

Summary Population behaviour of adults and 5th-instar nymphs ofNezara viridula L. was analysed by means of the marking-and-recapture method in an early-planted paddy field. The field contained five varieties
of rice which differend in growth states. It was estimated that a total of more, than 7,000 adults of the first generation,
in which at least 3,000 were females, invaded the field from early July to middle August. Egg-mass census data, however, indicated
that only 10 per cent or less of the females participated in egg-laying. This was largely due to the, low rate of adult survival.
The adults preferred younger plants, for both feeding and oviposition.
The method described byIwao
et al. (1966) permitted estimate that 3,300–3,400 of the 5 th-instar nymphs and 1,100–1,200 of the adults of the second generation
were produced from 298 egg-masses (25, 700 eggs); while 95–6 per cent of the individuals were thought to have died before
reaching adulthood. Most of the 5 th-instar nymphs moved less than 4 m in three days as long as the condition of food plants
remained suitable, but they tended to move more towards younger plants when those on which they lived became too mature. The
apparent survival rate of the second generation adults was very low, probably due both to a rapid emigration and a high mortality
of newly-emerged adults. 相似文献

Summary ‘Predator-foolhardiness’ (Lloyd andDybas, 1966b) in an epidemic population of the sugarcane cicada,Mogannia minuta was tested by counting the number of successful and failed trials of hand-capturing of adults in the centre and periphery
of a heavily infested area. Males frequently failed to escape from capture in the outbreak area but they did not in the peripheral
zone. Females could escape well irrespective of the density. It was considered that the ‘predator-foolhardiness’ of males
is not due to genetic differentiation through the process of outbreak but to the effect of massive chorus on the escape behaviour.

Reproductive behaviors related to habitat utilization were studied in males of the damsefly,Mnais nawai, which has two male forms, territorial orange-winged males (nawai) and non-territorial pale-orange-winged males (sahoi), at the upper part of a mountain stream where they partiallycoexist with a related species,Mnais pruinosa, which also has two male forms, territorial orange-winged males (esakii) and non-territorial hyaline-winged males (strigata). These two species showed parapatric distribution; the lower part of the stream was occupied byM. nawai, and the upper part byM. pruinosa. In the present study, cross-matings occurred between bothMnais species, although normal intraspecific matings occurred more frequently than cross-matings. Territorial males of both species copulated
with conspecific females that entered their territory and guarded the ovipositing females, probably to avoid sperm displacement
resulting from subsequent copulations. Severe competition for oviposition sites by territorial males even occurred between
the two species. On the other hand, non-territorial males of both species have alternative mating strategies (including several
tactics such as sneaking, takeover and interception). The possible benefits from conflict among territorial males of both
species is discussed. 相似文献

Summary The process generating the negative binomial in the distribution pattern of eggs of the common cabbage butterfly,Pieris rapae crucivora, was investigated by releasing the female adults in a net house where cabbages were planted.
The distribution of butterflies visited and laid an egg or more per plant followed thePoisson series under the uniform light condition, while that of eggs laid per visit conformed to the logarithmic distribution. From
these results, it may be concluded that the negative binomial arises from compounding of thePoisson and the logarithmic distribution. The observed frequency of eggs found per plant fitted to the negative binomial with parameter
thus computed theoretically.
The change in the degree of aggregation with the increase of the parental density was considered in connection with the above
results.

Summary Crowding effects of larvae on survival and development were examined for the broad-horned flour beetle,Gnathocerus cornutus (F.). The larvae matured about 3 weeks after hatching regardless of their densities, but pupation was severely hindered by
crowding. There existed an upper limit for the number of the pupae produced and its mechanism was studied by a statistical
analysis of the distribution patterns of pupal cells and the experiment in which glass tubes were artificially supplied in
addition as pupation site. These studies show thatG. cornutus larvae have a habit to construct cells for pupation and this habit leads to a contest competition for pupation site at high
densities. The significance of the contest competition for population regulation was discussed comparing the results onTribolium confusum

Summary Life tables for worker honeybees covering all life span, and those for adults, were prepared for three seasonal cohorts,June bees, July bees andwintering bees. Survivorship curves forJune andJuly bees show a convex type being exceptional for insects, with relatively high mortality at egg and feeding larval stages and at
later adult stage after most bees became potential foragers. Adult longevity greatly lengthens inWinteriing bees and survivorship curve drops approximately with the same rate. A remarkable similarity of survivorship curves for men and
honeybees was demonstrated, apparently due to highly developed social care in both. Some comments were given on mortality
factors. The importance of life tables for population researches was shown by applying our result to the population growth
curve made byBodenheimer, based upon the data byNolan. At the asymptote of the uncorrected curve, the ratio of total population estimated by uncorrected curve to that by corrected
curve reaches about 3∶2.

Summary This paper is concerned with some aspects of the ecology of the southern green stink bug,Nezara viridula, in Hawaii. Dispersal studies on adults showed an asymetrical dispersal pattern. The rate of plant to plant to movement by
the adults was 3.3–6.7 feet per day. Mortality studies showed that egg predation by ants,Pheidole megancephala, was as high as 80–90 per cent. Egg parasitism byTelenomus basalis was highest during February, 1965, and adult parasitism byTrichopoda pennipes was highest during July, 1964, to January of the following year. The population ofN. viridula declined during May, 1964, to May, 1965. This decline occurred simultaneously with the decline in the number of eggs produced
per female. It has been speculated that this reduction in egg production was caused by parasitism byT. pennipes.

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 A marked variation exists in the numbers and distribution of East African red legged millipedeMetiche tanganyciense
Kraus on the surface and in the lower layer (15 cm) of the soils. Stadia 5 cm and lesser in length are found in the lower layer
and those 5 cm and above on the surface soil. Adults are common in varying numbers in both the habitats.
It is suggested that after becoming surface active during March–August, and mating, adults migrate to lower layer during September
to oviposit. Eggs and early developmental stages are passed here, and when they are 5 cm in length, the stadia move to the
surfface soil to complete their development. In keeping with this behaviour, spatial distribution of the adults may change
from non-aggregation on surface soil to aggregation in the lower layer. The simulataneous presence of adults and developing
stadia in the two habitats suggests and overlapping of generations.

Summary Difficulty arises in applying marking-and-recapture methods to insects when the probability of recapture of marked individuals
is changed with advancing age, either due to detachment of the mark by moulting (in the case of larvae) or to changes in their
survival rate or their behaviour. A modification of the re-recapture method (Leslie
et al., 1953) has been devised to analyze the capture-recapture data of the 5th-instar larvae and adults ofNezara viridula L. Estimation of the rate of moulting to the adult stage is made with the aid of additional information on larval survival.
Migration rates of the larvae between the two halves of the census field is estimated byIwao's (1963) method. Through these analyses, the dynamic feature of the population during transition from the 5th instar to, adult
is revealed. Several problems involved in the application of marking-and-recapture methods to insect populations are discussed.

Summary Dispersal, immigration and emigration rates, horizontal and vertical survivorship and absolute population size were estimated
for micropopulations ofAn. culicifacies, An. stephensi andAn. subpictus at a series of cattle sheds in rural Punjab Province, Pakistan, during November 1979 and May 1980 using capture-mark-release-recapture
and dissection methods. Dispersal was temperature-related, with populations more vagile during May. Mean dispersal distance
per individual was low for all species. More than 70% of all recaptures were taken at the point of release and the longest
detected flight was 1250 meters.
Horizontal survivorship was greater during November and was always less than vertical survivorship calculated from dissection
agegrading data. Survivorship during the nulliparous period was greater than survivorship throughout total life, indicating
the survivorship curve may be slightly sigmoid. Daily population sizes of endemic and immigrating females and males were calculated
usingBailey's (1952) modification of the Lincoln Index, with the daily captures adjusted for immigration which was highest in May. Daily
additions to the indoor resting population exclusive of immigrants were estimated using the method ofManly andParr (1968). The relationship of the present findings to malaria transmission and genetic control were discussed. 相似文献

Summary A marking-and-recapture study of a population of overwintered adults ofEpilachna sparsa orientalis was carried out in a small farm containing potatoes and egg-plants. The experiment involved a single release and five recapture
samplings during May–June. The data were analysed byLeslie's re-recapture method. Assumption of randomness of sampling proved to be well satisfied.
Survival rate of the overwintered adult population was maintained as high as 90 per cent per week or more until early June,
and then it declined rapidly towards the end of June. Initially overwintered adults exclusively lived on potato plants, but
half of the population alive in mid June migrated to nearby egg-plants. Emigration out of the experimental field, however,
seemed not to be occurring.
Recapture data of marked individuals in the potato field indicate that majority of the individuals stayed within a radius
of 3 m, at least for 2 weeks. Similar data taken from another field also suggest that their mobility was far restricted as
compared with random movement within the field.
Some comparisons were made between the population behaviours of overwintered adults ofE. sparsa orientalis andE. vigintioctomaculata.

Summary The populations of native male adult oriental fruit flyDacus dorsalis (Hendel) and artocarpus fruit flyD. umbrosus (F.) in two selected site (BU and SD) were estimated weekly by the capture-recapture technique using live traps baited with
methyl eugenol. In BU where many varieties of fruit trees were grown, the estimated population densities ofD. dorsalis were between 980 and 3100 male flies per ha between May and July, 1984. During the same period, in SD where there were fewer
number and varieties of fruit trees, the estimated population densities were between 300 and 1000 flies per ha. The estimated
population densities ofD. umbrosus over the same period were between 570 and 1290 flies per ha in BU; and between 5 and 95 flies per ha in SD.
Of a total 6828 markedD. dorsalis flies released only one fly (released 6 weeks earlier in BU) was caught in a different site. 相似文献

Summary The demography of the lizardEumeces okadae was studied for 4 years on Miyake-jima, in the Izu Islands, central Japan. Most males matured at 3 years of age with a mean
snout-vent length of 77.5 mm. Females matured at 3–4 years with a mean SVL of 77.8 mm, and reproduced biennially thereafter.
Growth continued after maturity with a decreasing rate. In females, annual growth was negligible in reproductive years, but
resumed markedly in non-reproductive years. Clutch size increased with SVL and was used to construct a fecundity schedule.
Population density (exclusive of hatchlings) was estimated to be ca. 4000 individuals/ha in August, an exceptionally high
density for lizards. Before introduction of the weasel onto Miyake-jima, low predation pressure had allowedE. okadae to maintain a high population density. Estimated annual survival rates were 36% for hatchlings, 56% for yearlings, 80% for
2-year-olds, 63% for adult males and 76% for adult females. The cohort generation time (6.95 years) was so long that theE. okadae population can be characterized by a combination of low natality and slow turnover. 相似文献
