Are aphid mean relative growth rate and intrinsic rate of increase likely to show a correlation in plant resistance studies?

Abstract: In a study of the performance of Aplzis,fabm Scop. on 6 British and 3 Polish cultivars of I/iria,fuha L., the aphid showed a poor mean relative growth rate (MRGR) on the Polish cultivar Hangdown Bialy (p = < 0.05). Measurements of fecundity, the intrinsic rate of natural increase (r,) and MRGR were obtained on a large number of individual plants. Correlations between MRGR and both r, or fecundity for individual plants across cultivars were not significant. Although within cultivars, individual plants of Aquadu… Show more

“…Previous work reported significant correlations between F and MRGR for R. padi at the overall level for five host species 49 ; and between F and DT for three A. gossypii clonal lineages across six commercial cotton cultivars 38 ; for A. gossypii , Brevicoryne brassicae (L.), and R. padi feeding on plants treated with sublethal doses of insecticides 50 51 52 ; and for S. avenae feeding on wheat infected with barley yellow dwarf virus 53 . However, the significant correlation we found between F and DT for S. avenae did not agree with what Özder (2002) 54 or Wojciechowicz–Zytko & van Emden (1995) 42 reported.…”

“…That r m significantly positively correlated with MRGR in nearly all cases in this study agrees with previous findings for R. padi at the overall level for five host plant species 49 and for A. fabae with V. faba cultivars ‘Aquadulce’ and ‘Relon’ though not with seven other cultivars 42 . Our finding that r m is significantly negatively correlated with DT agrees with previous reports for cotton aphid A. gossypii clonal lineages across six commercial cotton cultivars 38 and for the pea aphid A. pisum on 12 species of legumes 39 .…”

“…After measuring the fresh weights of individual first‐instar aphids in clip cages at the beginning and after 4 days of the experimental period on an electrical microbalance (Sartorius Supermicro S4), the mean relative growth rate (MRGR, μg μg −1 day −1 ) was calculated as (log W 2 − log W 1 )/(t 2 − t 1 ), where W 1 is weight at first measurement (t 1 ) and W 2 weight at second measurement (t 2 ). Mean relative growth rate provides a measure of performance of the aphid that is likely to be directly related to the nutrition of the aphid, and independent of maternal effects (Van Emden, ; Wojciechowicz‐Zytho & Van Emden, ), and is a measure of the growth of the aphid relative to its weight. The intrinsic rate of increase (r m ) (Wyatt & White, ) was calculated by recoding the number of nymphs produced by each individual during their first 10 days of reproduction (nymphs were removed from clip cages as they were produced), using the formula r m = [c ln(Md)]/D, where Md is the number of nymphs produced by the adult in the first 10 days (D) of reproduction after the adult moult, and c is a constant (0.738) approximating the proportion of the total fecundity produced by a female in the first (D) days of reproduction (Wyatt & White, ).…”

“…El supuesto fundamental de la ecuación de la r m , es que una hembra produce el 95% de su progenie en los primeros días (d) de la reproducción. Si esta premisa no se cumple, por ejemplo, si una hembra muere unos pocos días después de iniciar la reproducción, los valores de r m pueden sobreestimar la contribución de cada individuo al crecimiento de la población (Wojciechowicz-Zytko & van Emden, 1995).…”
