초록

UHI rises when urban area becomes warmer than its surrounding and is considered as one of the main reasons for cicada abundance in urban areas. Two cicada species, Cryptotympana atrata and Hyalessa fuscata, are more abundant in urban areas with high urban heat island intensities (UHI) than in areas with low UHI. Thermal responses are a measure of cicada adaptation to thermal conditions in the habitat. Hence, we hypothesized that cicadas inhabiting high UHI areas exhibited elevated thermal responses compared to those occupying in low UHI areas. We measured minimum flight temperature (MFT), maximum voluntary temperature (MVT), and heat torpor temperature (HTT) of C. atrata and H. fuscata in metropolitan Seoul. For each species, there were three treatments: high UHI, low UHI, and suburb populations. We discovered that MFT and MVT were similar across all thermal treatments for each species. There was no difference in HTT across three treatments in C. atrata, meanwhile the HTT estimate was significantly higher in H. fuscata with high UHI than in those with low UHI. These results may suggest that H. fuscata in areas of high UHI may have developed thermal adaptation to high temperatures.
