- 論文の詳細を見る
Effects of aggregation on the survival and development in a papilioid butterfly, Luehdorfia japonica, were tested by rearing individuals in the laboratory from egg to adult stage in varying group sizes on 3 different host plants. Survival rate and developmental rate were enhanced by larval aggregation on each host plant. Aggregation also synchronized larval development. The magnitude of these effects varied with host plant species supplied and probably depended on the different suitability of the plants. Effects were most pronounced when the larvae were fed on Asarum caulescens, but less so when Heterotropa takaoi was used.
