Abstract

Egg incubation periods of 14 species of plecoptera were examined at $10^{\circ}\;{\sim}\;11^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}\;{\sim}\;16^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $23^{\circ}C$ under dark conditions. The total effective temperature (TET) was calculated by multiplying mean egg incubation days and water temperature of incubation periods. The relation between the TET and the incubation temperature was used to compare the life cycle of respective species. Perlodid species had higher TET values with a positive relation to incubation temperature than those of other species. Perlid species had low TET values in the 14 species with negative to variable relation, and Chloroperlid species showed variable to positive relations to incubation temperature. These results suggest that the relation between the TET and the water temperature reflected on their habitat of respective species.
