“…The total fecundity (47.6 ± 7.03) per female provided with 10% sugar solution in this study, was similar to that reported in a previous study which gave a figure of approximate 40 eggs per female feeding on 10% sugar solution [4,20]. Compared with the control, longevity and fecundity of P. ringoniella females improved when they were supplied with water, 10% sugar, and 10% honey solutions.…”

The Asiatic apple leaf miner, Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Matsumura), is an important insect pest to apples. We developed a rearing method for P. ringoniella in the laboratory. Overwintering pupae were collected from our apple orchard, and crabapple seedlings were selected as oviposition substrate and food source for the larval development. The mean developmental period was 25.9 ± 0.49 days from egg to adult and the survival rate was 0.387 under 25 ± 1 °C, 65 ± 5% RH and a photoperiod of 14:10 (L:D) h. Mean egg length and egg width were 0.336 ± 0.0043 and 0.259 ± 0.0046 mm, respectively. Mean body length and head width increased from 1.070 ± 0.0245 and 0.180 ± 0.0021 mm in first instar larvae to 5.027 ± 0.0718 and 0.321 ± 0.0021 mm in fifth instar larvae, respectively. The mean weight of the pupae was 0.946 ± 0.0132 mg. The wingspan of male adult (6.280 ± 0.0639 mm) was significantly larger than female (6.040 ± 0.0753 mm). The mean fecundity (56.9 ± 8.58 eggs per female) and longevity (8.2 ± 0.55 days) of females was highest when they were provided with 10% honey solution, followed by 10% sugar, water, and control. The females preferred to lay eggs (56.5 ± 3.84%) near the secondary leaf vein in a leaf. The larval mortality increased linearly (R2 = 0.94) with the number of larvae per leaf. The mortality of pupae increased from 5.6 ± 4.01 to 51.1 ± 9.88% as storage periods at 4 °C increased from 0 to 105 days. The rearing method and its biological characteristics presented in this study will contribute to further studies on this pest insect.

“…6 For our study, we opted for the rate summation method, which has demonstrated satisfactory results in numerous recent publications involving various insect species. 6,7,28,29,[39][40][41] Our oviposition model comprises four key components: senescence rate, total fecundity, age-specific oviposition rate, and age-specific survival rate. Under field conditions, daily air temperature data collected from ground-based weather stations or weather satellites can be used as input to calculate the senescence rate and total fecundity.…”

“…In this study, the adult senescence rate, calculated as the reciprocal of female median longevity in days, was modeled as a function of temperature utilizing the model polynomial equation:

r (T) = a + bT + c T^{2}

where r(T) denotes the senescence rate at temperature T (°C) and a , b , and c are fitted parameters. This particular equation was chosen by considering that polynomial functions accurately described the relationship between senescence rate and temperature in previous studies 28,29 …”

“…This particular equation was chosen by considering that polynomial functions accurately described the relationship between senescence rate and temperature in previous studies. 28,29 The estimates generated by this model were used to calculate the physiological age (Px) using the rate-summation method. Following the approach outlined by Curry et al, 27 the physiological age of S. eridania adults from emergence to the nth day was determined by applying the following calculation:…”

BACKGROUNDTemperature plays a critical role in the development and reproductive process of insects. Therefore, understanding how insects respond to temperature is vital for comprehending and predicting their population dynamics, particularly when it comes to agricultural pests. Spodoptera eridania Stoll is a polyphagous pest that has recently expanded its distribution beyond its native range. In this study, we assessed the impact of temperature on the reproduction of S. eridania and used the obtained data to develop an oviposition model that could be used to predict egg‐laying behavior under field conditions. The reproductive parameters were evaluated at temperatures of 15, 20, 25, 28, and 32 °C.RESULTSTemperature had a significant impact on the reproductive parameters examined. Overall, as temperature increased, the pre‐oviposition period, oviposition period, and longevity decreased. Total fecundity exhibited a bell‐shaped response to temperature, with peak egg‐laying observed at 20 and 25 °C. In line with the experimental data, our model predicted higher rates of oviposition between 20 and 26 °C, thus reinforcing that this temperature range may represent the optimal conditions for the reproduction of S. eridania.CONCLUSIONThe findings from our study provide a significant contribution to the understanding of the ecology of an important agricultural pest. The information generated can have practical applications in developing control strategies by enabling the aligning of the timing of control measures with peaks of reproductive activity.This article is protected by copyright.
