Egg production and development of the carabid beetles Notiophilus biguttatus F. and Notiophilus rufipes Curtis were studied in relation to temperature. Adult beetles and larvae were fed springtails of the species Orchesella cincta (Linné). The rate of egg production, at the different temperatures did not differ between the species. As observed in N. biguttatus egg production at a daily fluctuating temperature regime is high compared to egg production at the constant temperatures. Food supply not only has a strong effect on egg production but also on the relation of egg production with temperature, as shown in N. biguttatus. Development times in N. rufipes are longer than in N. biguttatus particularly at low temperatures. The temperature during development has a distinct effect on adult body size. As observed in N. biguttatus body size and fecundity show a strong positive correlation.
研究了双斑青步甲（Notiophilus biguttatus F.）和红足青步甲（Notiophilus rufipes Curtis）的产卵及发育与温度的关系。成虫和幼虫以环带跳虫（Orchesella cincta (Linné)）为食。不同温度下，这两个物种的产卵率没有差异。正如在双斑青步甲中观察到的，在日波动温度条件下的产卵量比恒温条件下的产卵量高。食物供应不仅对产卵量有很大影响，而且对产卵量与温度的关系也有影响，如在双斑青步甲中所示。红足青步甲的发育时间比双斑青步甲长，尤其是在低温下。发育期间的温度对成虫体型有明显影响。正如在双斑青步甲中观察到的，体型和繁殖力呈现出很强的正相关。
