The effect of nutrient stress on development and reproduction in an aphid

Abstract: To investigate the influence of nutritional quality on reproduction in the rose‐grain aphid (Metopolophium dirhodum, Wlk.), it was reared on barley seedlings of different nutritional quality or starved either during the last instar or the first few days of adulthood. Their reproductive performance was studied by analysing the gonadal status of teneral adults and by scoring the number of offspring. Metopolophium dirhodum was very tolerant of starvation in the fourth instar with most surviving (97%) to adulthood… Show more

“…If the costs of survivorship on radish are high, only larger individuals would be able to survive and reproduce. According to Dixon (1985), under stable conditions, fecundity and the size of aphid nymphs are positively correlated with their mother's size, although adverse conditions may sometimes alter this correlation (Grüber and Dixon, 1988). …”

“…The effects of starvation on viviparous insects, such as aphids, are likely to be different. and Metopolophium dirhodum (Walker) from completing their development (Hardie, 1985;Grtiber & Dixon, 1988). However, those with a high reproductive investment have poor resistance to starvation (Ward et al, 1983b).…”

“…For example, the addition of cover crops to any agroecosystem can change the herbivore's host plant characteristics and the agroecosystem's microclimate, both of which can result in a change in herbivore abundance (e.g. Grüber & Dixon, 1988;English-Loeb, 1989;Silvanima & Strong, 1991;Castañé & Savé, 1993;Willmer et al, 1996) that might otherwise be attributed to an increase in natural enemy numbers.…”
