Dispersal of Larvae of the Tenebrionid Beetle, Zophobas Rugipes, in Relation to Weight and Crowding
When larvae of the tenebrionid beetle, Zophobas rugipes, were allowed to disperse among 26 equivalent chambers in a circular dispersarium, distribution patterns were found to be a function of larval weight and number of larvae in the apparatus (N). Small larvae (x wt 250 mg) were significantly aggregated while large mature larvae (, 1000 mg) were highly overdispersed. Medium larvae were interme...
متن کاملInhibition of pupation due to crowding in some tenebrionid beetles.
Pupation of mature larvae of several species of tenebrionid beetles is inhibited by crowding. The magnitude of the inhibition varies according to species. The primary factor causing this inhibition is the mechanical stimulation resulting from inter-larval contacts. Cannibalism of prepupae, pupae and teneral adults is discussed as the probable chief factor responsible for the evolution of the in...
