The genetics and ecology of sympatric speciation: A case study
Tập 40 - Trang 175-187 - 1998
Mating occurs on the larval host plant in allRhagoletis species (Diptera: Tephritidae). We show how this attribute, when coupled with certain differences in other biological traits, strongly influences the mode of speciation. In species of thesuavis species group, host shifts have never occurred during speciation, and larvae feed in the husks of any walnut species(Juglans spp.), which are highly t......
Territory establishment of young bio-clawed shrew,Sorex unguiculatus (Dobson) (Insectivora, Soricidae)
Tập 30 - Trang 83-93 - 1988
A model of the plant-to-plant movement of aphids I. Description of the model
Tập 9 - Trang 53-61 - 1967
The plant-to-plant movement of insects in one of the factors determining the distribution of individuals in insect populations. In this report the movement of barley aphids was analyzed by a statistical model. The model is represented as the convolution of three probability functions:

A comparative study of the searching efficiencies of a parasite and a hyperparasite
Tập 20 - Trang 179-187 - 1979
The searching efficiencies of a primary parasite (Diaeretiella rapae (McIntosh)) and a hyperparasite (Alloxysta brassicae (Ash.)) were investigated and compared. In both species, at all parasite densities, there was a curvilinear relationship (P<0.001) between the number of hosts parasitised and the host density. A linear regression (loga=logQ−m logP) was fitted for log area of discovery against l...
Comparative studies on the seasonal occurrence, nymphal development and food menu in two giant water bugs,Diplonychus japonicus vuillefroy andDiplonychus major esaki (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae)
Tập 35 - Trang 15-22 - 1993
We compared the seasonal changes in population density and nymphal development at different water temperatures and under different food conditions between two giant water bugs,Diplonychus japonicus andD. major, in Okayama, Japan.
D. japonicus produced 1–2 generations a year, whileD. major was strictly inivoltine. The developmental velocity was higher inD. japonicus than inD. major......
Note on a method for analyzing stage-frequency data
Tập 35 - Trang 215-222 - 1993
A new method for analyzing stage-frequency data is proposed which is based on the estimation of rates of transition between one stage and the next highest stage in one unit of time, and a unit time survival rate that is assumed to be constant. Once these estimates are calculated it becomes possible to also estimate the mean durations of stages, stage-specific survival rates, and numbers entering s......
Sex change and spatial distribution pattern in an intertidal holothurian Polycheira rufescens in the reproductive season
Tập 41 - Trang 235-242 - 1999
The patterns of sex change and spatial distribution in an intertidal holothurian, Polycheira rufescens (Chiridotidae; Echinodermata), were investigated on a stony beach in Amakusa, western Kyushu. Field caging experiments revealed that some individuals of P. rufescens underwent a sequential sex change from male to female via hermaphrodite stages and back to male again within a single reproductive......
Biogeographical history of northeastern Asiatic soricine shrews (insectivora, mammalia)
Tập 39 - Trang 157-162 - 1997
A hypothetical biogeographical history of northeastern Asiatic soricine shrews in the late Quaternary was developed by integrating their present distributions, fossil records, a hypothetical phylogeny, and geological investigations. First, a biological area cladogram of the northeastern Asiatic region was constructed by applying the vicariance hypothesis to the phylogeny of thecaecutiens/shinto gr......
Relative humidity as an environmental factor determining the microhabitat of the nymphs of the rice brown planthopper,Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Homoptera: Delphacidae)
- 1993
Microhabitat of the nymphs and the adults of the rice brown, planthopper,Nilaparvata lugens is known to be the lower parts of rice plants. In this study, possible environmental factors determining the range of the microhabitat were experimentally analyzed by using the nymphs under laboratory conditions. Thirty individuals of the 1st or the 3rd instar nymphs were released to a potted rice plant cov......
Density dependence depends on scale; at larval resource patch and at whole population
Tập 35 - Trang 261-271 - 1993
A previous study (Tuda and Shimada, 1993) has shown that the equilibrium population size of the azuki bean beetle was lower at 32°C than at 30°C and that this difference was due to a reduced maximum population size of emerged progeny through inside-bean process. In this paper, these results were analyzed further on the scale of the individual bean where interaction among larvae took place. Per-bea......
