ABSTRACT The burnt pine longhorn beetle, Arhopalus ferus (Mulsant) (Cerambycidae: Coleoptera), is an introduced species in New Zealand that can occur as a hitch-hiker in association with export logs and sawn timber. Its life cycle is completed in decaying pine. We determined the effect of 14 constant temperatures from 3 to 41 °C on the development and survival of burnt pine longhorn eggs. The lower temperature limit for development was estimated to be 10.4 °C, 6.3 °C and 7.6 °C by a linear model and two non-linear models, respectively. The latter two estimates may be more accurate than the former as the development curve deviates from linearity at low temperatures. The optimum temperature for development, when development rate is at a maximum, was estimated by the non-linear models as 33.8 °C and 34.7 °C. Eggs hatched within the range 10–38 °C with duration ranging from a maximum of 92 days at 10 °C to a minimum of 4.3 days at 35 °C. Survival exceeded 90% in the range 13–32 °C and declined to zero at 7 °C and 41 °C.

温度对烧松长角牛Arhopalus ferus（Mulsant）（鞘翅目：天牛科）卵发育和存活的影响

摘要 烧焦的松长角牛甲虫 Arhopalus ferus (Mulsant) (Cerambycidae: Coleoptera) 是新西兰的一种引进物种，可以作为与出口原木和锯材相关的搭便车者出现。它的生命周期是在腐烂的松树中完成的。我们确定了从 3 到 41 °C 的 14 个恒定温度对烧焦的松长角牛卵的发育和存活的影响。通过线性模型和两个非线性模型估计开发的温度下限分别为 10.4 °C、6.3 °C 和 7.6 °C。后两种估计可能比前一种更准确，因为低温下的发展曲线偏离线性。当发育速率最大时，最佳发育温度由非线性模型估计为 33.8 °C 和 34.7 °C。鸡蛋在 10-38°C 范围内孵化，持续时间从 10°C 下最多 92 天到 35°C 下最少 4.3 天不等。存活率在 13–32 °C 范围内超过 90%，并在 7 °C 和 41 °C 时降至零。
