The aim of this study was to examine different methods for determining growing degree-day (GDD) threshold temperatures for
two phenological stages (full bloom and harvest) and select the optimal thresholds for a greater number of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars grown in the Belgrade region. A 10-year data series were used to conduct the study. Several commonly used methods
to determine the threshold temperatures from field observation were evaluated: (1) the least standard deviation in GDD; (2)
the least standard deviation in days; (3) the least coefficient of variation in GDD; (4) regression coefficient; (5) the least
standard deviation in days with a mean temperature above the threshold; (6) the least coefficient of variation in days with
a mean temperature above the threshold; and (7) the smallest root mean square error between the observed and predicted number
of days. In addition, two methods for calculating daily GDD, and two methods for calculating daily mean air temperatures were
tested to emphasize the differences that can arise by different interpretations of basic GDD equation. The best agreement
with observations was attained by method (7). The lower threshold temperature obtained by this method differed among cultivars
from −5.6 to −1.7°C for full bloom, and from −0.5 to 6.6°C for harvest. However, the “Null” method (lower threshold set to
0°C) and “Fixed Value” method (lower threshold set to −2°C for full bloom and to 3°C for harvest) gave very good results.
The limitations of the widely used method (1) and methods (5) and (6), which generally performed worst, are discussed in the
paper. 相似文献

Abstract Developmental curves for the sister species Chrysomya chloropyga (Wiedemann, 1818) and Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) were established at eight and 10 different constant temperatures, respectively, using developmental landmarks and body length as measures of age. The thermal summation constants (K) and developmental threshold (D0) were calculated for five developmental landmarks using a previously described method. Isomorphen and isomegalen diagrams were also constructed for the purpose of estimating postmortem intervals (PMIs). Chrysomya chloropyga had an average developmental threshold value (D0) of 10.91 °C (standard error [SE] = 0.94 °C, n = 5), significantly lower than that of C. putoria (13.42 °C, SE = 0.45 °C, n = 5) (paired t‐test: t = ? 4.63, d.f. = 8, P < 0.00). Similarly, K values for C. chloropyga were larger than those for C. putoria for all developmental events except onset of the wandering phase. These are the first data that can be used to calculate minimum PMIs and predict population growth of C. chloropyga and C. putoria in Africa; the data indicate that developmental data for one of these species cannot be used as surrogate data for the sister species. 相似文献

In normalyears, eggs and prolarvae of the plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) in the southern North Sea develop within the temperature range 6.0–8.5 °C, although the water may at times be some degrees colder or warmer than this. The effect of temperature, t °C, on the embryonic development time, D days, has been investigated within the tolerated range 2.8–10.5 °C. Various models to express the observed curvilinear relationship between t and D have been considered, that giving the closest fit to the data being (t−t0)(D−D0) = k or . A method is given for the calculation of constants k, D0, and t0. The relationship may also be expressed by the equation D = a(t−t0)b where a and b are constants, but t0 must in this case be found by iteration. At investigated temperatures in the range 4.1–10.5 °C the smallest eggs in a batch from a single source hatched first. Within the tolerated range, hatching prolarvae were substantially smaller at 10.5 °C than at the other temperatures. During the period of prolarval yolk utilization, growth is slower at the high temperatures, so that median temperatures of 6.5–8.0 °C are most efficient in terms of the relationship between growth in length and yolk utilization. Toward the end of the yolk-sac phase, the rate of yolk utilization declines unless a suitable external food source (e.g., Artemia nauplii) is provided. 相似文献

The relationship between head pteridine fluorescence (HPF) levels and age in adult females and males of a common necrophagous fly, Chrysomya megacephala, and effects of temperature and fly sex on the relationship were studied by pteridine fluorescence spectrophotometry. Factors affecting HPF levels in flies were found to include fly age, temperature and fly sex, among which the fly age was the most dominant one. There were significant linear relationships between HPF levels and age both for female and male adult flies at five constant temperatures, i. e. 16°C, 20°C, 24°C, 28°C and 32°C. The relationship between mean rate of pteridine accumulation (FV or MV) and temperature (t) could be well described by a modified exponential equation of FV=0.01288 e(0.2241t‐3.127)+0.3649 (r2= 0.9987) for females and a linear regression equation of MV= 0.0574 t ‐ 0.3637 (r2= 0.9557) for males. Using the information from the experiments at five constant temperatures, three calculated methods as the candidates were developed for accurately determining the age of the fly by HPF levels at ambient temperature. The results revealed that these three methods were suitable for estimating the age only for male flies, but not for female flies. The smallest average error of the predicated age was 2.55 days for males. In addition, how to employ which of these three developed methods for determining ages of male flies in practical was also discussed. 相似文献

Several methods have been used in plant phenology to find the best starting date in spring and the best threshold or basic
temperature for growth and development of perennial plants. In the present paper the date giving the highest correlation coefficient
for development to various phenophases, in relation to 24-hourly mean air temperatures was chosen as the best starting value
in further analyses. For many woody plants this date was very often found to be 1 April based on phenological and climatological
observations at about 60 sites in western Norway (at about 61°N). The early flowering species Corylus avellana and Salix caprea and the early leaf-bud breaking Prunus padus seemed to start development earlier in Spring, while the late sprouting Fraxinus excelsior showed the highest correlation coefficient using 15 April. If daytime temperatures were used in the calculations, the ”best”
starting date was generally found to be later than for the 24-hour mean temperatures. This variation must be seen as resulting
from the different basic temperatures for the development of various species. Estimates of basic temperatures in various species
and periods may be given, for example by finding the value having the least variance in heat sums or by various regression
analyses. A technique has been developed to minimise the influence of significance of correlation, using the intercept with
the temperature axis by merging the two least squares rectilinear regression lines that can be found between plant development
and mean air temperature (from the estimated best starting date) at r=+1 or –1. The basic temperature seemed to vary from –5.9°C for leaf-bud break of P. padus to 5.5°C for leaf-bud break of F. excelsior, with basic temperatures of several other woody plants having intermediate values. These values are compared with those found
by other methods.

Abstract Two methods were used to estimate the effective accumulated heat (K) and threshold development temperature (To) of the green lacewing, Chrysopa phyllochroma Wesmael, under 7 constant temperatures. The results were as follows: 1) by means of Li Chao's ‘optimum seeking method’, T0 of eggs, larvae, and pupae are 14. 20, 11. 55 and 8. 27°C respectively, K of them are 53. 82, 151. 58 and 243. 85 day-degrees respectively; 2) by means of Li Dianmo's ‘rapid estimation method’, T0 of eggs, larvae, and pupae are 14. 33, 12.18 and 8. 38°C respectively, K of them are 54. 41. 157. 62 and 245. 21 day-degrees respectively; 3) based on linear regression equation and the logistic curve equation, the formula for estimating development rates of different development stages at certain temperatures has been established. 相似文献

Development time, reproduction, survival and sex ratio were determined for the omnivorous mite Amblyseius swirskii at nine constant temperatures (13, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30, 32, 34 and 36°C) on pepper leaf disks with cattail, Typha latifolia, pollen for food. These data were used to derive life table parameters at these constant temperatures. No development was
observed at 13°C. The lower development threshold, based on the fit to the linear portion of the development curve, was 11.3°C.
The upper development threshold was 37.4 ± 1.12°C, and the optimum temperature was calculated to be 31.5°C. Average lifetime
fecundity ranged from a low of 1.3 ± 0.24 eggs/female at 15°C to a high of 16.1 ± 0.34 eggs/female at 25°C, and r
m was greatest at 32°C. Non-linear regression of the relationship between temperature and r
m produced an estimate of 15.49 ± 0.905°C for the lower threshold for population growth and 36.99 ± 0.816°C for the upper threshold
for population growth, and an optimum temperature of 30.1°C. These values suggest that A. swiskii populations should grow quickly in response to food availability (pollen or prey) between 20 and 32°C, but that, especially
below 20°C, population growth could be slow and impacts on prey populations should be monitored carefully. 相似文献

Temperature‐dependent development, parasitism and longevity of the braconid parasitoids, Fopius arisanus Sonan and Diachasmimorpha longicaudata Ashmed on Bactorcera invadens Drew Tsuruta & White, was evaluated across five constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30 and 35°C). Developmental rate decreased linearly with increasing temperature for both the parasitoid species. Linear and Brière‐2 nonlinear models were used to determine the lower temperature threshold at which the developmental rate (1/D) approached zero. For F. arisanus, lower thresholds to complete development estimated with the linear and nonlinear models were 10.1 and 6.9°C, respectively. The total degree‐days (DD) required to complete the development estimated by the linear model for F. arisanus was 360. In D. longicaudata, the linear and nonlinear models estimated lower thresholds of 10.4 and 7.3°C, respectively, and the total DD estimated was 282. In F. arisanus, percentage parasitism differed significantly across all temperatures tested and was highest at 25°C (71.1 ± 2.5) and lowest at 15°C (46.4 ± 1.4). Parasitoid progeny sex ratio was female biased at all temperatures except at 20°C. In D. longicaudata, percentage parasitism was highest at 20°C (52.2 ± 4.0) and lowest at 15°C (27.7 ± 2.5). Parasitoid progeny sex ratio was female biased and similar for all temperatures. Adult longevity of both parasitoids was shortest at 35°C and longest at 15°C, and females lived significantly longer than males at all temperatures tested. Our findings provide some guidance for future mass rearing and field releases of the two parasitoids for the management of B. invadens in Africa. 相似文献

Abstract. Eretmocerus eremicus is a parasitoid wasp that is not native to Britain. It is a biological control agent of glasshouse whitefly and has recently been released under licence in Britain for the first time. This study assessed the effect of low temperature on the outdoor establishment potential of E. eremicus in Britain. The developmental threshold calculated by three linear methods was between 6.1° and 11.6 °C, with a degree‐day requirement per generation between 256.3 and 366.8° day?1. The supercooling points of non‐acclimated and acclimated larvae were similar (approximately ?25 °C). Non‐acclimated and acclimated larvae were subject to considerable pre‐freeze mortality, with lethal temperature (LTemp50) values of ?16.3 and ?21.3 °C, respectively. Lethal time experiments indicated a similar lack of cold tolerance with 50% mortality of both non‐acclimated and acclimated larvae after 7 days at ?5 °C, 10 days at 0 °C and 13 days at 5 °C. Field trials showed that neither non‐acclimated nor acclimated larvae survived longer than 1 month when exposed to naturally fluctuating winter temperatures. These results suggest that releasing E. eremicus into British greenhouses would pose minimal risk because typical British winter temperatures would be an effective barrier against establishment in the wild. 相似文献

The knowledge of thermal inactivation kinetics, usually expressed in terms of D‐ and z‐values, is of crucial importance for the design of sanitation and sterilization processes. In this study, we designed a simple, fast‐responding, and mechanically stable aluminum tube for inactivation measurements and compared these experiments with the successive‐sampling method at different temperatures. Up to 65°C, we determined a come‐up time of approximately 15 s for the tubes, which is lower than the corresponding values of other devices, presumably because of lower wall thickness, material properties, and a higher surface to volume ratio. D‐values of Escherichia coli calculated from tube inactivation experiments by first‐order kinetics were 370 s (56°C), 126 s (58°C), 53.2 s (60°C), 33.8 s (62°C), and 3.22 s (65°C), and the corresponding values determined with the successive‐sampling flask method were insignificantly different (417, 138, 48.6, and 29.1 s for 56, 58, 60, and 62°C, respectively). These data as well as those measured for Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas putida, Serratia odorifera, and Yersinia rhodei were in close accordance with literature values. 相似文献

Legionella pneumophila is a waterborne pathogen that is mainly transmitted by the inhalation of contaminated aerosols. In this article, the influence of several physico-chemical parameters relating to the supply of potable water was studied using a L. pneumophila peptide nucleic acid (PNA) specific probe to quantify total L. pneumophila in addition to standard culture methods. A two-stage chemostat was used to form the heterotrophic biofilms, with biofilm generating vessels fed with naturally occurring L. pneumophila. The substratum was the commonly used potable water pipe material, uPVC. It proved impossible to recover cultivable L. pneumophila due to overgrowth by other microorganisms and/or the loss of cultivability of this pathogen. Nevertheless, results obtained for total L. pneumophila cells in biofilms using a specific PNA probe showed that for the two temperatures studied (15 and 20°C), there were no significant differences when shear stress was increased. However, when a source of carbon was added there was a significant increase in numbers at 20°C. A comparison of the two temperatures showed that at 15°C, the total cell numbers for L. pneumophila were generally higher compared with the total microbial flora, suggesting that lower temperatures support the inclusion of L. pneumophila in drinking water biofilms. The work reported in this article suggests that standard culture methods are not accurate for the evaluation of water quality in terms of L. pneumophila. This raises public health concerns since culture methods are still considered to be the gold standard for assessing the presence of this opportunistic pathogen in water. 相似文献

Abstract: A method of distinguishing different larval instars of Liriomyza huidobrensis morphologically, using measurements of the cephalopharyngeal skeleton was developed. The growth ratios of cephalopharyngeal skeletons between first and second and second and third instar larvae were 1.80 and 1.47, respectively, enabling clear separation to be achieved for experimental work. Using this method the development rates of the immature stages of L. huidobrensis feeding on Lactuca sativa were determined under constant temperatures of 11, 16, 19, 26 and 28 ± 1°C and were shown to increase linearly with temperature over the range investigated. The theoretical lower threshold temperatures for development from oviposition to the end of each larval instar or pupal stage were 5.35, 6.30, 6.20 and 5.70°C, respectively. The overall threshold temperature for development from oviposition to 50% adult emergence (5.70°C) was used to calculate degree‐day (DD) requirements for development from oviposition to each larval instar or pupal eclosion, which were 84.3, 30.1, 58.9, 143.7 DD, respectively. The use of these data for optimizing the timing of application of control agents which are effective against specific developmental stages is discussed. 相似文献

1. The spruce bark beetle Ips typographus (L.) is one of the most important forest pests in Central Europe, but despite this the effects of temperature on life history and population growth are largely unknown. This study examines the effects of temperature on reproduction and intrinsic demographic statistics. 2. Laboratory experiments on oviposition were carried out at six temperatures in the range 12–33 °C, using the so-called sandwich rearing technique for bark beetles. 3. A linear relationship between oviposition rates and temperatures in the range 15–25 °C was used to estimate the lower temperature threshold for oviposition as 11.4 °C. With a nonlinear model fitted to the data across the whole range of experimental temperatures, the lower and upper limiting temperatures and optimum temperature were found to be 7.9, 33.7, and 28.9 °C, respectively. A model for daily oviposition rate was fitted, which describes the pattern of oviposition over the entire oviposition period. 4. The analysis of life tables, combining developmental rates, reproduction, mortality, and sex ratio, suggests maximum population growth (rm) at near 30 °C. 5. After generating a first brood, spruce bark beetles often re-emerge from the tree and produce other sister broods. The effects of temperature and number of sister broods on demography were evaluated using age-specific life-table analyses. It is hypothesized that sister broods play an important role in regions where I. typographus is monovoltine, but have only moderate significance where this species has more than one generation per season. 相似文献

The upper thermal tolerance of brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis was estimated using critical thermal maxima (CTmax) experiments on fish acclimated to temperatures that span the species' thermal range (5–25°C). The CTmax increased with acclimation temperature but plateaued in fish acclimated to 20, 23 and 25°C. Plasma lactate was highest, and the hepato-somatic index (IH) was lowest at 23 and 25°C, which suggests additional metabolic costs at those acclimation temperatures. The results suggest that there is a sub-lethal threshold between 20 and 23°C, beyond which the fish experience reduced physiological performance. 相似文献

1 The seasonal synchrony between the exotic predator, Pseudoscymnus tsugae and its prey, the hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae, was investigated in field cages and in the forest in Connecticut, U.S.A. from 1997–1999. 2 In early spring, egg to adult development took 45 d at 18.7 °C, 39.7 d at 20.2 °C and 31.5 d at 22.7 °C. Earliest emerging F1 adults mated and oviposited in the same year. whereas F1 and F2 females emerging later in the summer mated and reserved most of their egg complement for the following year. 3 A second generation of P. tsugae is possible in Connecticut but may be delayed by cool mid‐spring temperatures. Individuals of three generations of P. tsugae, including overwintering survivors, may coexist in July and August and adults can be found year‐round with A. tsugae in infested hemlock forests. 4 A linear regression model for development from egg to adult under field temperatures gave good agreement with results from constant temperature findings. The model predicted a lower development threshold of 9.5 °C and a sum of effective temperatures of 405 day °C. Development time of P. tsugae is shorter relative to its prey A. tsugae and generation time ratios of predator to prey was 0.16–0.5, with an advantage conferred on the coccinellid. 5 Overwintering ability and behaviour were determined in 1998–1999 and adults remained on infested hemlock branches throughout a mild winter, becoming reproductively active in mid‐April. Peak oviposition period extended from April to July, in synchrony with peak oviposition and developing stages of two generations of A. tsugae. 相似文献

A Saccharomyces-cerevisiae-based simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of lignocellulosic biomass is limited to an operating temperature
of about 37 °C, and even a small increase in temperature can have a deleterious effect. This points to a need for a more thermotolerant
yeast. To this end, S. cerevisiae D5A and a thermotolerant yeast, Candida acidothermophilum, were tested at 37 °C, 40 °C, and 42 °C using dilute-acid-pretreated poplar as substrate. At 40 °C, C. acidothermophilum produced 80% of the theoretical ethanol yield, which was higher than the yield from S.cerevisiae D5A at either 37 °C or 40 °C. At 42 °C, C. acidothermophilum showed a slight drop in performance. On the basis of preliminary estimates, SSF with C. acidothermophilum at 40 °C can reduce cellulase costs by about 16%. Proportionately greater savings can be realized at higher temperatures
if such a high-temperature SSF is feasible. This demonstrates the advantage of using thermophilic or thermotolerant yeasts.

Temperature is a determining factor for the development and establishment potential of insect pests. The present study describes the impact of temperature (13, 18, 23, 25, 28, 30, and 33 °C) on the life cycle parameters and phenotypic plasticity of South American populations of Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in the laboratory. Secondary objectives were to determine the lower thermal threshold and thermal constant to estimate the number of annual generations of the insect in small-fruit-producing regions in Brazil. The highest egg-to-adult survival was recorded at 23 and 25 °C. At 30 and 33 °C, no emergence of D. suzukii was observed. The egg-to-adult development time was shortest at 25 and 28 °C (ca. 10 days). The net reproductive rate (R0), and the intrinsic rate of population increase (rm) were highest at 23 and 25 °C. In contrast, temperatures of 13 and 28 °C generated largest and smallest body sizes, respectively, and caused reductions of 99 and 93% in R0. The estimated lower thermal threshold was 7.8 °C for egg-to-adult survival. The estimated thermal constant was 185.8 degree days, and the estimated annual number of generations of D. suzukii ranged from 17.1 in cold regions to 27.2 in warm regions. The results of the present study are important for understanding D. suzukii occurrence in the field, contributing to more informed and precise pest management. 相似文献
