Cycle biologique de Drusus rectus (Trichoptera) dans les Pyrénées centrales : influence de la température et de l'enneigement
Life cycle of Drusus rectus (Trichoptera) in the central Pyrenees: influence of temperature and snow-cover
Laboratoire d'Hydrobiologie, Université Paul-Sabatier, 118, route de Narbonne, 31077 Toulouse Cedex, France
La durée du cycle vital de Drusus rectus s'allonge suivant la séquence : biotope déneigé en basse altitude (1 an) - biotope déneigé en haute altitude - biotope enneigé en haute altitude (2 ans). Les très basses températures déterminent un léger ralentissement de la croissance. A température égale, ce ralentissement est beaucoup plus accusé sous la neige que dans les biotopes déneigés : il affecte principalement les premiers stades larvaires phytophages, qui ne se développent pratiquement pas en absence de périphyton. La taille des larves et des adultes est fonction de la longueur du cycle biologique.
Abstract
The duration of the life cycle of Drusus rectus lengthens with the following sequence of biotopes: biotope without snow at low altitude (1 year) - biotope without snow at high altitude - biotope covered with snow at high altitude (2 years). Very low temperatures cause a slight retardation of growth. At a similar température, this retardation is much more marked under the snow than in the biotopes that are without snow, and chiefly affects the first-instar larvae. These are phytophagous and do not develop in the absence of periphyton. The size of both the larvae and the adults is related to the length of the life cycle.
