옥수수 주 해충인 조명나방(Ostrinia furnacalis)(나비목: 포충나방과)의 비휴면태 단계의 생존과 발육, 생식에 미치는 온도 영향을 분석하였다. 비휴면태 단계는 16:8 h (명:암)의 광주기 조건에서 유지하였다. 미성숙태를 15~35°C 범위의 7개 항온조건에서, 성충을 13~33°C 범위의 8개 항온 조건에서 인공사료로 사육하였다. 알은 적용된 모든 온도에서 생존율이 70% 이상이었으나, 유충은 15°C에서 7.4%의 낮은 생존율을 보였다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 미성숙태의 발육기간은 짧아졌으나, 유충기간은 35°C에서 더 짧아지지 않았다. 번데기 몸무게는 온도 증가에 따라 증가하였는데, 암컷의 무게는 35°C에서 다시 감소하였다. 25°C를 제외한 다른 6개 온도 각각에서 마지막 영기가 다른 개체변이가 관찰되었다. 성충은 적용된 모든 온도 에서 자손을 생산하였다. 성충 수명과 산란전 기간, 산란기간은 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향이었고, 산란전 기간은 33°C에서 다시 길어졌다. 총산란수는 22°C와 31°C에서 400개 이상이었다. 산란기간 중 일산란수와 산란일당 일산란수는 온도가 증가함에 따라 많아졌는데, 33°C에서 다시 감소하였다. 성충 나이에 따른 일일 산란수는 우화 초기 급격히 증가하였고 이후 완만히 감소하는 경향이었다. 산란횟수는 22°C에서 가장 많았다고 모의 추정되었다. 선형방정식으로 추정된 최저발육온도는 1령 유충이 9.7°C로 가장 낮았고, 5령~말령 단계가 14.7°C로 가장 높았다.

In order to establish an indoor-rearing system for A. Alcinous, the effect of temperature and pupal diapause was investigated. Temperature has been suggested as an important factor in determining the developmental rate, Lifespan and mortality in invertebrates. As temperature increase, the developmental period was gradually reduced. The developmental period of A. alcinous larvae was 12.9 days and 25.8 days at 30℃ and 20℃, respectively. And we investigated the effect of different chilling days on diapause termination. Under longday condition(LD 16:8h, 20℃) oxygen consumption gradually increase. But oxygen consumption on the first day of pupa was the highest and rapidly fell down the next day and attained lowest point after 7days, with average value of 1.92mol/min/g under shortday condition(LD 8:16h). Diapause pupae were chilled for 60, 75, 90, 105 days at 8℃ and thereafter subjected to LD 16:8h at 25℃. And emergence rate at 60~90days was 57.1~80.7%.

In order to establish a year round indoor-rearing system for Copper butterflies; large copper butterfly, Lycaena dispar, the effect of temperature on larval development and diapause was investigated. Temperature has been suggested as an important factor regulating the developmental rate, length of life, and survival rate from insect. As temperature increased, the developmental period was gradually shorten. The developmental periods of large copper larvae had a range of 11.0 days to 28.5 days at 30℃ and 17.5℃ respectively. The highest emergence rate was 94.2% recorded at 20℃. And the low emergence rate was 72.7% under 17.5℃. We investgated the sensitive stages to diapause induction in the larger copper effect of temperature and photoperiod. The experiment involves transfer of individuals from diapause averting (LD 16:8h, 25℃) to diapause inducing condition (LD 8:16h, 20℃) at various stages. Diapause was induced in 95.2% insect transferred at hatching larvae, in 15.6% of insects transferred at 2nd stadium molt, in 0% of insects transferred at after 3rd stadium molt. Percentage diapause induction increase with the length of short days and low temperature experienced. The main stage sensitive to photoperiod and temperature induction of diapause determination is the early first larval instar. The diapause induction began 14 days and ended 20 days after hatching larvae (LD 8:16h, 20℃).
