摘要

A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the fecundity and longevity of A. macrophthalmus females from Kwazulu-Natal, the oviposition responses to varying degrees of availability of L. leucocephala seeds, and the effect of varying egg loads on seeds on larval survival to adulthood. Female adults that were not provided food and water lasted 14-24 days at 24 degrees C. Eighteen percent of the females did not oviposit, whereas the remaining females each produced 4-39 eggs. Of all the deposited eggs, 43.8% were deposited singly on seeds and 11.2% were deposited on petri dishes. In cases of multiple oviposition, eggs were deposited on aggregates of 2, 3 and 4-6 eggs. The high proportion of unexploited seeds, the incidence of multiple oviposition, and the oviposition on petri dishes suggested an egg dumping behaviour. The pattern of egg distribution was affected by seed availability. At the lowest seed density (2 seeds per female), a higher number of seeds with egg loads of >3 eggs was recorded. At a density of 4 seeds per female, the number of eggs on seeds varied from 0 to >3 eggs. At a density of 8 seeds per female, significant differences were recorded only between the proportions of seeds with no eggs and the proportions of seeds with >3 eggs. At the highest seed density (16 per female), a higher proportion of seeds had no eggs. A highly significant negative correlation was observed between the percentage of adult emergence and the number of eggs per seed. Larval survival to adulthood was greatest (97.0%) in seeds with single egg loads and lowest (1.0%) in seeds with a load of 10 eggs.
