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
