THE ALLOCATION PROCESS AND BETWEEN-TREE SURVIVAL PROBABILITIES IN DENDROCTONUS-FRONTALIS INFESTATIONS Academic Article

abstract

• We have presented two transfer functions for allocating populations of D. frontals adults in spots: a fixed probability TF and a time-temperature dependent TF. Both procedures produced essentially equivalent results when applied to actual population measurements taken from spots. The time-temperature TF was more realistic than the constant probability TF, but introduced an added source of variation into the transfer. Temperature was demonstrated to have a significant effect on adult longevity. The time-temperature dependent TF provides a means of incorporating this important variable. The F1 and F2 values obtained from this time-temperature dependent TF were also judged to be superior to the values obtained from the constant probability TF. Survival of reemerged and emerged beetles were shown to be cyclic and compensatory. 1980 The Society of Population Ecology.
