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 biology of the veliid bugM. d. atrolineata, its predatory behavior, and the effects of plural hunting were studied to evaluate its role as a predator of the brown planthopperNilaparvata lugens in the Philippines. The probability of planthoppers falling onto the water surface and provision of habitat continuity was
measured by a sticky trap placed at the base of rice hills in a greenhouse and in paddy fields.
The developmental period of immature stages combined was 21 days. If given prey, females laid 25 eggs on the average during
an adult life span of 18 days. Starved adults could survive for only 3–5 days.
The functional response to prey density was sigmoid, and the maximum number of prey killed was 7 per day. Prey feeding was
completed in 12–36 min. The percentage of successful prey attacks averaged 5–8%, decreasing with higher (and larger) developmental.
stages of prey, but adult prey were found the soonest. Plural hunting increased the probability of capturing prey by as much
as 2.5 times that by individual hunting.
Late-instar nymphs, which may be more active, fell from rice hills in a greenhouse more than early-instar nymphs, and the
number falling increased with density. In the field the percentage of planthoppers falling to the water in 1 day varied considerably,
from 1% for nymphs in one field to 67% for adults in another field.
On the basis of work described above and given the high density of veliid predators in flooded paddy fields of tropical Asia,M. d. atrolineata is considered one of the most important natural enemies of the brown planthopper. 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 postmetamorphic growth and survival of the salamanderHynobius nebulosus tokyoentis
Tago were surveyed in the study site located in Habu village of Hinodemachi, a suburb of Tokyo City, during 1975–1981. A laboratory
experiment on the growth rate of juveniles was conducted in parallel with the field survey. The result indicated that this
salamander grew at the rate of 8,mm in s.v.l. per year during the juvenile stage, but its growth rate decreased markedly as
low as 1.8 mm for males and 1.1 mm for females, once it had attained sexual maturity. According to the “capture-recapture”
procedure the annual survival rate after metamorphosis was found to be quite high; that is, approximately 0.7. By using the
growth rate of juveniles and the difference between the sizes at metamorphosis and sexual maturity, the age at first reproduction
was estimated to be 4 year for males and 5 year for females.
From the data obtained in this study, the intrinsic rates of increase (r) were calculated for various values of age at first reproduction under different survival schedules, and the relationship
between the age at first reproduction and fitness as measured byr was examined. The result indicated that an optimal age maximizing fitness always existed under respective survival schedules,
and the observed age at first reproduction of this salamandei was found to coincide well with the predicted optimal age. 相似文献

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 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.

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

Summary The population dynamics of an epilachnine beetle, which is closely related toEpilachna sparsa
Dieke (henceforth called “sp. C”) and feeds on bitter cucumberMomordica charantia, was studied by mark-recapture of adults and the construction of life tables. The study was repeated three times, i.e., March–May,
July–September and October–December in 1982, in Padang, Sumatra, Indonesia. After the establishment of the host plants, adults
of “sp. C” soon colonized, and each study period ended in the death of the plants due to defoliation by the larvae and adults.
The estimated mean length of residence of adults ranged from 6–11 days, but this was probably much shorter than the actual
longevity, because the adults were so active that they flew away, or dropped off the plants, when they were approached or
slightly disturbed. Life tables indicated that egg mortality ranged from 17.8–53.9%, and a parasitic waspTetrastichus sp. B made up 41.1–64.2% of egg mortality. Two wasps,Tetrastichus sp. C andPediobius foveolatus killed 1.2–19.4% (7.6–100%)* of 4th instars and only the latter species attacked the pupae, killing 24.6–59.1% (45.1–72.4%). Parasitism and starvation
by overcrowding contributed most to the total mortality from egg to adult emergence, which ranged from 89.4–99.5%. “Sp. C”
had a higher diversity and level of parasitism than the Japanese species,E. vigintioctopunctata. The high dispersal power of “sp. C”, coupled with the prolongedl
x−mx schedules shown under laboratory conditions, was advantageous for exploiting the food plant which was available throughout
the year, but was rather patchily distributed in space. 相似文献

To examine density dependence in the survival, growth, and reproduction of Pomacea canaliculata, we conducted an experiment in which snail densities were manipulated in a paddy field. We released paint-marked snails of
15–20 mm shell height into 12 enclosures (pens) of 16 m2 at one of five densities – 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 snails per pen. The survival rate of released snails was 95% and was independent
of snail density. The snail density had a significant effect on the growth and egg production of individual snails. This density
dependence may have been caused by reduced food availability. The females at high density deposited fewer and smaller egg
masses than those at low density, and consequently produced fewer eggs. The females at densities 8 and 16 deposited more than
3000 eggs per female, while the females at density 128 oviposited only 414 eggs. The total egg production per pen was, however,
higher at higher snail density. The survival rates of juvenile snails were 21%–37% and were independent of adult density.
The juvenile density was positively correlated with the total egg production per pen and hence was higher at higher adult
density. However, the density of juveniles larger than 5 mm in shell height, i.e., juveniles that can survive an overwintering
period, was not significantly different among density treatments. These results suggest that snail density after the overwintering
period is independent of the density in the previous year. Thus, density dependence in growth and reproduction might regulate
the population of P. canaliculata in paddies.

Summary Two experiments on the nymphal predation ofPodisus maculiventris were conducted usingSpodoptera litura larvae as prey.
First experiment: The predator nymphs divided into three groups were reared individually from second instar to adult in a
small vessel. Each nymph in the groups 1, 2 and 3 was allowed to attack the serially growing larvae (these were supplied at
the rate of one per day) from 3-, 5- and 7-day old after hatching, respectively. The first prey used for the group 1 was so
small that it was not only insufficient to satiate the predator but also was difficult to be searched out. But these disadvantages
were soon recuperated due to the rapid growth of the prey and all nymphs could survive to adults. The survival rate of third
and fourth instar nymphs in the group 3 was severely affected by vigorous counterattack of older prey larvae.
Second experiment: The predator nymphs were individually reared either in a small vessel or in a large one at various rates
of food supply (the prey larvae of 7-day old were used). The functional response curves obtained for each instar of the predator
took a saturation type within a certain range of the prey density. The saturation level specific to each instar was generally
higher for the predator reared in the large vessel than in the small one. The functional response of fourth and fifth instar
nymphs was accelerated at a high prey density,viz. 16 larvae per vessel. Even at the low rate of food supply,viz. one larva per day per predator, the predator nymphs could survive to adults, but the size of resultant adults were abnormally
small. 相似文献

Summary Settlement date, mating status, and breeding success of individually marked great reed warblers,Acrocephalus arundinaceus, were studied during the 1980–84 breeding seasons in Kahokugata, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Twenty-five per cent of the
territorial males were polygynous, of which the majority were bigamous. The settling periods of both sexes were long, extending
for 65 days in males and 49 days in females. About 80% of males and females settled in the first half of the settling period,
and the settlement date of 28–54% males overlapped with that of females. Many of the late settlers were bachelors and the
males which mated earlier tended to be polygynous. The timing of a male's settlement is important in acquiring mates. Fifty-five
per cent of eggs laid were lost before fledging, mainly due to predation. The mean number of fledglings was 3.19 per primary
female, 2.41 per secondary female, and 2.80 per monogamous female. Comparison of the number of fledglings of females which
mated during the same period showed that the presence of another female in the same territory did not adversely affect the
breeding success of either of the polygynous females. Polygynous males have the advantage of decreasing the risk of breeding
failure under high predation pressure. 相似文献

Summary Oviposition rates and related behaviours were quantified forLariophagus distinguendus
F?rster attackingCalosobruchus chinensis (L.) andC. maculatus (F.). Oviposition rates varied with parasitoid age; parasitoids aged 1–7 days laid approximately twice as many eggs per day
as those aged 8–14 days. Similar differences were noted in search rates and handling times; younger parasitoids had higher
attack rates and lower handling times than older parasitoids. Search rates and handling times also varied with the host stage
available for attack. Search rates were higher and handling times were lower on larger stages. The results are discussed with
reference to their impact on the dynamical behavior of insect parasitoid-host populations. 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 Females of an odonate species in which oviposition sites overlap with mating sites may adopt one or more of the following
strategies when they lay eggs except when they ‘trade’ mating for access to suitable oviposition sites or for services (guarding,
etc.) provided by males: (1) ovipositing at hidden places; (2) ovipositing at a time when males are neither patrolling nor
watching; (3) indicating non-receptivity by a behavioral display. The density of ovipositing females of the dragonfly,Cordulia aenea amurensis
Selys which was studied between 1970 and 1983 at a pond (H?rai-numa, Sapporo, Hokkaido) had a high negative correlation with the
distance from ‘entrance’ (a part of shore at which the arrival of most adults seems to have occurred). On the other hand,
oviposition was rarely observed at a sector being distant from entrance in spite of the inference that larval survivorship
was probably high at this sector. Most females oviposited among emergent vegetation in which approach of males to them was
difficult, and they scarcely traveled across the open water in search of oviposition sites. Therefore, most females of the
population studied were considered to adopt the first strategy. The second and third strategy were not adopted by the population
studied. Finally, the influences of some environmental factors and traits possessed by a species on the adoption of these
tactics or on the execution of the ‘trades’ were discussed.

Nymphs ofNilaparvata lugens were experimentally reared from the 2nd instar in a cage covering part of the leaf sheath of an individual rice plant grown
in a Wagner pot. Plants were covered with the cage from the water surface of the pot to 10 cm above the surface (lower cage-group)
or from 10 cm to 20 cm above the surface (upper cage-group). Temperatures measured at three different parts of the cage remained
fairly constant in both groups at around 25°C (23.7–25.2°C in mean value). In the lower cage-group, relative humidities measured
at the three heights in the cage in (76.3–90.5% in mean value) markedly increased with the approach to the water surface.
The nymphs of this group, particularly during the molting period, aggregated close to the surface. Eighty-two percent of the
released nymphs emerged in this group. Relative humidities measured at three heights of the upper cage-group were 69.5–72.7%
in mean value, and all the nymphs in this group died within 3 days after their release although half of them stayed on the
rice plants within 6 h after their release. The role of relative humidity as a limiting factor on the range of the microhabitat
and the population density ofN. lugens in rice fields was discussed on the basis of the results. 相似文献

Summary Nymphs ofAgriosphodrus dohrni
Signoret (Reduviidae) have a strong gregariousness and show group predatory behavior. This study was conducted to clarify adaptive
significance of group predation of this species, including laboratory observations and 6-year field surveys.
In the laboratory, observations on both solitary and group attacking against armyworms were made at varying prey size classes
to compare the capture success rate by solitary predators with that by groups. The efficiency in capturing the prey was significantly
higher in group attacking at any prey size class compared.
Data obtained from the field surveys indicated the tnedency for searching nymphs to feed in group and to increase the number
of predators feeding per prey item with increasing prey size. Average sizes of prey captured were also larger in group feeding
throughout the nymphal stage. In particular, it was remarkable that, when prey were “creeping” types, the upper size limit
of prey eaten was dramatically increased. 相似文献

Summary The population growth of the green rice leafhopper,Nephotettix cincticeps, in the paddy field was analyzed based on the life table data accumulated for six years.
The paddy field population, which stems from the invading adults of the first generation (G-I), repeats two complete generations,
and the hatchlings of the fourth generation (G-IV) enter diapause and overwinter as the fourth instar nymphs in fallow paddy
fields. It was clarified that the density dependent reduction in the mean longevity and oviposition rate of adult females
in G-II and III played a primary role in stabilizing the annual population densities. The annual average of the mean longevity
of G-II females (3.9 days) was much shorter than that of G-III ones (7.7 days) and thus the density dependent reduction in
the mean longevity induced a more prompt regulatory effect on the oviposition of G-II females compared with G-III ones. As
the result, two equilibrium densities of eggs were obtained,e.g., ca 100 and 700 eggs per hill in G-III and IV, respectively. Density dependent decrease in the proportion of mature females in
the adult population was especially conspicuous in G-II, and this was closely associated with the density dependent reduction
in the mean longevity and fecundity. Thus, the density dependent dispersal (emigration) of the adult females by flight in
G-II and III was the most convincing factor in the process of population regulation. The density dependent dispersal of the
adult females is effective in avoiding the deleterious effects of nymphal crowding in a breeding habitat unit (a paddy field),
and may result in a more even distribution of the population over a continuous habitat units in a locality than otherwise. 相似文献

Preference and performance linkage in aPhyllocolpa sawfly on the willow,Salix miyabeana, on Hokkaido
A leaf-folding sawfly in the genusPhyllocolpa (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) attackingSalix miyabeana (Salicaceae) was studied near Sapporo, Hokkaido, along the Ishikari River in 1993. Host plant individuals were young trees
4–7 years old which were growing rapidly, producing some long shoots with large leaves. On a gradient of shoot length classes
from 0–5 cm long to over 80 cm long, shoots were much more abundant in the shorter shoot length classes. However, attacks
by ovipositing females increased as shoot length increase from 0 attacks on the shortest shoots to 5.17 attacks per shoot
on the longest shoots. The frequency of attack per leaf increased from 0 to 0.13 over the same range of shoot lengths. This
pattern of attack resulted in a high frequency of larval establishment in feeding sites, between 0.96 and 1.00, in all attacked
shoot length categories. However, probability of survival to a late instar larva increased with shoot length and corresponded
to the attack pattern, indicating a preference-performance linkage between female ovipositional decisions and larval survival.
The patterns found for thisPhyllocolpa species are similar for galling sawflies in North America and Europe, especially in the genusEuura, members of which make stem, bud and leaf midrib galls. Extending the pattern to aPhyllocolpa species broadens identification of pattern and ultimately the generality of the emerging theory on populations of galling
sawflies. 相似文献

Summary The population dynamics of the housefly,Musca domestica, on patchy and unstable habitats consisting of refuse was investigated at a waste disposal site by using sticky flypaper
and mark-release-recapture technique (Jolly-Seber's method). The newly disposed garbage was favorable for breeding of the flies for about one month after being disposed, while
a mixture of garbage and ash from incinerated refuse was less favorable. On the garbage under favorable conditions, the rates
of population increase was 1.25–2.82 per day, and approximately 1300–1500 flies were produced per square meter within the
available period of one month. The rapid decrease in the fly density was observed just after the appearance of high density
peaks. The mark-release-recapture study suggested that this rapid decrease would be mainly due to the density-dependent emigration
of adult flies from the patchy habitats. The emigration was also activated when the time after garbage disposition became
long. 相似文献

Temporal changes in the population size of a phytophagous lady-beetle were analyzed to identify mechanisms affecting lady-beetle
population dynamics at different spatial scales. The study area (15 ha) included 18 habitat patches. The major host plants
were potato for first generation larvae and eggplant for second generation larvae. The habitat patches were classified into
three groups according to the major host plants in each patch: P-E patches (both host plants available), P patches (potato
only), and E patches (eggplant only). The winter disappearance of adults in the whole study area, and larval mortality in
E patches were apparently the most important factors disturbing the overall population density. Density-dependent movement
of females appeared to have the greatest stabilizing effect on the yearly fluctuation of population density. Rate of increase
of female adults from the first to the second generation,R, was generally higher on eggplants in E patches than in P-E patches because the adult density of the first generation was
much higher in P-E patches. The yearly fluctuation of adult density in each generation tended to be less in patches with all
habitat components necessary for the full life cycle (P-E patches). However, such patches were not favorable for first generation
females, as indicated by the lower rate of increase from the first to the second generation. The density and stability of
lady-beetle populations is discussed in relation to habitat structure. 相似文献
