Effects of Temperature on Anoplophora chinensis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Adult Survival, Reproduction, and Egg Hatch

Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) is an invasive species that can damage many tree in orchard, urban, and forested habitats. Adult survival, reproduction, egg hatch of A. from Italy China are evaluated at eight constant temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 °C) under laboratory conditions. The estimated Tmax for longevity was 42 33 °C females 39 males Italy, respectively. Tmax, Tmin, optimum temperature fecundity were 9, 29 °C, Females laid eggs 15–30 hatched 15–35 °C. Days to first oviposition increased exponentially 13 days 30 >300 near 10 Tmin the 38 Percentage be highest 26 have a 31 These results indicate summer over wide range latitudes should support beetle survival but ?35 ceases, adult survivorship declines. In addition, may survive into fall, lay fewer not hatch. responses used developing phenological models predict timing stages management or eradication efforts.
