THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE POST‐DIAPAUSE DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR GEOGRAPHICAL POPULATIONS OF THE EUROPEAN CHERRY FRUIT FLY (RHAGOLETIS CERASI)

Abstract: Pupae of Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) from Austria, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland and Italy were stored at 4° for 155 days and then transferred to eleven constant and four cycling temperature regimes until the flies emerged. No flies emerged in 324 days at 8° constant but mean emergence was 84% for the remaining regimes. Female flies emerged slightly earlier than males and flies from Italy were the last to start emerging. Reduced to a common mean base temperature of 6.8°, temperature sums in day degrees C to 10% emerg… Show more

“…Meats (1983) analyzed the effects of alternating and constant temperature regimens in Dacus tryoni and observed that the damage of low temperatures is minimized when the organism is submitted to brief periods of less severe temperatures. The high rate of oviposition and larval eclosion observed at 90d and 180d in flies kept at alternating temperatures (20º/6ºC) corroborates the apparent diapause suggested by Baker & Miller (1978) about the effect of cyclic and constant temperatures on the development of the fruit fly Rhagoletis cerasi.…”

“…While several studies appear to show adaptation (e.g. Tauber & Tauber, 1978;Trimble & Lund, 1983;Ayres & Scriber, 1994;Telfer & Hassell, 1999;Birkemoe & Leinaas, 2001), there are others that show no variation in thermal requirements over a wide geographic range (Baker & Miller, 1978;Lamb et al, 1987;Tauber et al, 1987;Royer et al, 2001). This contrasts with the wide evidence for insect adaptation to other environmental factors, such as host plant species and pho toperiod (Lamb et al, 1987).…”

“…Yet, despite a body of theory (Roff, 1980;Taylor, 1981) and many empirical studies (Rabb, 1969;Kishino, 1970;Campbell et al, 1974;Holzapfel and Bradshaw, 1976;Brenner et al, 1981;Obrycki and Tauber, 1982;Ando, 1983;Masaki and Walker, 1987;Carroll, 1988;Dingle et al, 1990) that provide support for this expectation, there are surprisingly many investigations in which geographic variation for development time is absent or is apparently not adaptive because faster development does not occur in areas with shorter season length (Beck and Apple, 1961;Heron, 1972;Umeya and Yamada, 1973;Baker and Miller, 1978;Flint, 1980;Takeda and Chippendale, 1982;Tanaka and Brookes, 1983;Trimble, 1983;Trimble and Lund, 1983;Kikukawa and Chippendale, 1984;KikukawaetaI., 1984;Ritland and Scriber, 1985;Hare and Kennedy, 1986;Lamb et al, 1987;Tauber et al, 1987Tauber et al, , 1988Nechols et al, 1987). Because geographic variation for development time is apparently not ubiquitous, we felt it was necessary to actually test for variation in development time and season length in populations from throughout the taxon's distribution.…”
