A method of analysis is suggested for data obtained by sampling an insect population while the individuals in the population are developing through several stages. The method allows the estimation of (i) the numbers entering each stage, (ii) the mean duration of each stage, and (iii) daily survival rates. A basic assumption made is that the time of entry to a stage follows a normal distribution.The method is illustrated on data from a field population of grasshoppers and a laboratory population of locusts.
本文提出了一种分析方法，用于处理在昆虫种群个体经历多个发育阶段时对其进行抽样所获得的数据。该方法能够估计：（i）进入每个阶段的个体数量；（ii）每个阶段的平均持续时间；以及（iii）每日存活率。所做的一个基本假设是进入某个阶段的时间服从正态分布。文中通过来自蝗虫田间种群和蝗虫实验室种群的数据对该方法进行了说明。
