Abstract

An analytical method for the description of intrinsic variability in insect development rates for incorporation in phenology models is presented. Two sets of experimental data are used as examples. The method is easy to apply, can describe data accurately, produces highly realistic simulations of insect development, and is amenable to the simulation of age-dependent mortality, feeding, and reproduction. The method was developed for univoltine insects with discrete generations, but it can also be applied to multivoltine species with overlapping generations. A modification of the method to handle small samples is also discussed and applied to data.

Résumé

Une méthode analytique pour la description de la variabilité intrinsèque des taux de développement des insectes pour incorporation dans des modèles de phénologie est présentée. Deux ensembles de données expérimentales sont utilisés comme exemples. Cette méthode s'avère facile d'application, peut décrire des données avec précision, produit des simulations hautement réalistes, et se prête bien à la simulation de la mortalité, de l'alimentation et de la reproduction basées sur l'âge physiologique. La méthode a été développée pour des insectes univoltins à générations distinctes, mais peut aussi s'appliquer aux espèces multivoltines. Une modification de la méthode pour échantillons de petite taille est discutée et appliquée à des données.
