摘要:
Eggs ofPteronarcys californicaNewport were incubated at fixed temperatures between 5 and 20°C in the laboratory and at field temperatures in the Crowsnest River, Alberta. The regression of rate of development on temperature between 5–15°C gave a developmental zero of 3.125°C. Within the range 10–20°C, highest hatching success and fewest days to median hatch occurred at 15.0 or 17.5°C, but physiological time (day-degrees) for egg hatching increased with temperature throughout, markedly so above 15°C. A minimum of 182 days was required for 50% hatch in the laboratory, with no observable development for approximately 80 days. Eggs placed in the river on 25 May 1993 started to hatch on 17 October 1993, and the pulse of larval recruitment in the field population occurred between April and August, 11 to 15 months after oviposition. Eggs hatched over periods of 130–322 days at different temperatures in the laboratory, and over an 11-month period in the field. The placement of diapause early in embryonic development is suggested as a cause of extended recruitment. The variety of embryonic development in Plecoptera is briefly reviewed.
