Thermal Effects on the Population Parameters and Growth of Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Abstract: The pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a cosmopolitan and polyphagous species. An evaluation of A. pisum’s demographic parameters and growth was carried out after rearing aphids on faba bean plants (Vicia faba) under five different temperature conditions (10 °C, 15 °C, 20 °C, 25 °C and 30 °C). We analyzed the raw life history data, including developmental time, survival, longevity and reproduction, using an age-stage, two-sex life table to consider variable developmental rates amo… Show more

“…The intrinsic rate of increase includes contributions of age of initial reproduction, the peak of reproduction, length of the reproductive period, and the survival rate of the population. Population parameters are principal demographic parameters and are particularly useful when predicting the growth potential of insect populations [45,[58][59][60][61][62][63]. Based on the intrinsic rate of increase values obtained in the present study, we established that fluctuating temperatures have different effects on R. pedestris development and reproduction, dependent on the ranges of temperature fluctuation to which these bugs were exposed.…”

“…Temperature affects the development and survival of insects [ 29 , 30 ]. This study found that the hatching rate of CPB eggs at 27 °C is 91%, which is consistent with previous studies [ 31 ].…”

“…It shows that short-term high temperature has an adverse effect on the egg production of CPB adults. Demographic parameters can be used to predict population growth: the intrinsic rate of increase reflects the growth ability of the population and can be used to measure the trend of population growth and decline at that time or in the future [ 29 , 33 ]. In this experiment, the intrinsic rate of increase in CPB at 27 °C was 0.16, which was significantly higher than repeated exposure at 35 °C and 39 °C, indicating that repeated short-term high temperature was not conducive to the growth of CPB population.…”

“…The effect of temperature on aphids has been reported under laboratory conditions with respect to some host plants. The optimum temperature for the growth and development of grain aphids, Sitobion avenae, is 15-25 • C, at which the highest intrinsic growth rate (r m ) results (Ahn et al, 2020). The highest r m and finite rate of increase in Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) were observed at 25 • C (Luis and Xavier, 2001).…”
