Abstract

The cowpea aphid Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a polyphagous species with a worldwide distribution. We investigated the temperature effects on development periods of nymphs, and the longevity and fecundity of apterous female of A. craccivora. The study was conducted at six constant temperatures of 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25, 30.0, and $32.5^{\circ}C$. A. craccivora developed successfully from nymph to adult stage at all temperatures subjected. The developmental rate of A. craccivora increased as temperature increased. The lower developmental threshold (LT) and thermal constant (K) of A. craccivora nymph stage were estimated by linear regression as $5.3^{\circ}C$ and 128.4 degree-days (DD), respectively. Lower and higher threshold temperatures (TL, TH and TH-TL, respectively) were calculated by the Sharpe_Schoolfield_Ikemoto (SSI) model as $17.0^{\circ}C$, $34.6^{\circ}C$ and $17.5^{\circ}C$. Developmental completion of nymph stages was described using a three-parameter Weibull function. Life table parameters were estimated. The intrinsic rate of increase was highest at $25^{\circ}C$, while the net reproductive rate was highest at $20^{\circ}C$. Biological characteristics of A. craccivora populations from different geographic areas were discussed.

아카시아진딧물은 다양한 기주식물을 먹이로 하는 곤충으로 전 세계적으로 분포하고 있다. 본 연구는 아카시아진딧물 약충의 발육기간, 무시성충의 수명과 번식능력을 조사하기 위하여 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, $32.5^{\circ}C$ 정온조건에서 실험을 실시하였다. 조사된 모든 항온조건에서 아카시아진딧물은 성공적으로 성충으로 발육하였고 발육율은 온도가 상승할수록 증가하였다. 아카시아진딧물 약충시기별 발육영점온도와 유효적산일은 선형회귀분석 방법을 이용하여 계산하였다. SSI모델을 이용하여 발육최저, 최고한계를 추정하였다. 아카시아진딧물 전체약충기간의 발육영점온도와 유효적산일은 각각 $5.3^{\circ}C$과 128.4DD였다. SSI모델을 이용한 아카시아진딧물의 발육최저, 최고온도는 $17.0^{\circ}C$과 $34.6^{\circ}C$였으며 이들간의 차이는 $17.5^{\circ}C$였다. 전체약충기간의 발육완료분포모형은 3-매개변수 Weibull함수를 이용하여 나타내었다. 온도와 관련된 아카시아진딧물의 생물적 특성을 생명표분석을 통해 나타내었다. 내적자연증가율은 $25^{\circ}C$에서, 개체군순증가율은 $20^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높았다. 다른 지역에 서식하는 아카시아진딧물의 생물적 특성을 비교 분석하였다.

The closed three squares from left to right represent the development rates at T_L, T_ϕ an T_H. T_L and T_H which are temperatures at which the control enzyme has equal probability to be active or inactive by low or high temperature inactivation, and T_ϕ is the intrinsic optimum temperature. C: Cumulative proportions of development completion for total nymph period of A. craccivora.
