This method does not require a detailed fecundity table data. The value of rm can be estimated by the simple equation: rm=0.74ln (Md)/d, where d is the time from birth to first reproduction; Md is the number of female offspring produced per original female in 2d. This method was developed by Wyatt and White. We reached the following conclusions from our study: When the parameter, Md is less than 1, this equation is not appropriate for estimating rm of populations; When the parameter, Md is larger than 1 and about 70% or more of the reproductive contribution to the rm is achieved in 2d, the equation is appropriate for calculatng the rm of aphids and mites.As Md decreases, the required reproductive contribution to the rm in 2d corresponding to the constant 0.74 will increase. However, whether 70% or more of reproductive contribution to rm is achieved in 2d still is a problem for whole taxa of aphids and mites. Therefore, further siudy on reproductive distribution will be required for practical application of this method.展开更多

The studies showed that there existed the linear relationship between the accurate values of rm and In f (Md) / d or In (A/d/2) / d, that is, 1) rm= 0.845 In (Md) / d or 2) rm= 0.880 In (Md/ 2) / d. Where d is the prereproductive time, Md is the number of female offspring produced per original female from the first to the dthday of reproduction, and Md/2 is the number of female offspring produced per original female from the first to the (d/ 2) th day of reproduction. These equations can provide the accurate estimates of rm for parasitoids in this study. The approach is advantageous because it does not require the construction of detailed fecundity tables for estimating parasitoid rates of increase. Of course, whether these equations are appropriate for the other taxa will need to be further studied.展开更多

本研究通过对苹果绵蚜(Eriosoma lanigerum Haus.)和苹果绵蚜蚜小蜂(Aphelinus mali Hald.)的生物学和生态学特性的比较分析,得到如下结论:(1)苹果绵蚜完成一世代的积温要求和发育起点温度均低于苹果绵蚜蚜小蜂,二者的有效积温分别为352...本研究通过对苹果绵蚜(Eriosoma lanigerum Haus.)和苹果绵蚜蚜小蜂(Aphelinus mali Hald.)的生物学和生态学特性的比较分析,得到如下结论:(1)苹果绵蚜完成一世代的积温要求和发育起点温度均低于苹果绵蚜蚜小蜂,二者的有效积温分别为352.19日度和375.51日度,发育起点温度分别为7.62度和7.95度。因此,苹果绵蚜较其寄生蜂更适合于昆明地区的气候条件;(2)苹果绵蚜种群的增长能力大于苹果绵蚜蚜小蜂,二者的内禀增长率在20℃下分别为0.1390和0.1146,在25℃下分别为0.2647和0.1628。这可能是昆明地区苹果绵蚜蚜小蜂不能控制苹果绵蚜为害的主要原因。另外,本研究首次利用卡方密度函数对各种温度下的昆虫产卵的时间分布进行了拟合,取得了较好的效果。展开更多
