To establish the indoor-rearing system of the emma field cricket, Teleogryllus emma, the effects of temperature on development and reproduction of the emma cricket have been studied. The influence of temperature on developmental periods of emma field cricket was investigated under the eight temperatures of 15, 18, 21, 25, 27, 29, 31 and $35^{\circ}C$, under $60{\pm}5%$ R.H. and 16L:8D photoperiod. The developmental periods of T. emma nymphs had a range of 124.8 days to 44.4 days at the temperature of $21^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. At $15^{\circ}C$ and $18^{\circ}C$, however, all tested individuals died before emergence. The highest survival rate was 90% at $25^{\circ}C$, but there were no statistically significant differences among the temperatures. The adult weight increased with increasing temperatures although the weight at $35^{\circ}C$ was decreased. In addition, the influence of temperature on reproduction of emma field cricket was investigated under three temperatures $22^{\circ}C,\;25^{\circ}C\;and\;28^{\circ}C$, under $60{\pm}5%$ R.H. and 16L:8D photoperiod. The longevity of female/male adults were 65.8/79.2 days, 68.5/67.8 days, 46.8/57.4 days at the temperature $22^{\circ}C,\;25^{\circ}C\;and\;28^{\circ}C$, respectively. The preoviposition periods were 32.5 days at $22^{\circ}C,\;22.9^{\circ}C$ days at $25^{\circ}C$ and 22.1 days at $28^{\circ}C$. The highest average fecundity per female was 737.3 at $25^{\circ}C$.

생쥐 비장세포에 대한 아열대산 귀뚜라미(Gryllus bimaculatus)와 왕귀뚜라미 (Teleogryllus emma)로부터 3종 추출물(Al, A2, Bl)의 면역활성능을 조사하였다. 3종의 추출물 모두 normal spleen cell에 대하여 독성을 나타내지 않았다. Al과 A2는 세포의 proliferation을 증가시키는 경향을 나타내었으며, 1000ug/m1의 고농도에서는 약 10-20%의 증가를 보였다. Bl의 경우는 약간의 감소경향을 나타내었으며, T cell의 mitogen인 Con A에 대한 mitogenic response는 두드러진 활성을 나타내지 않았다. (중략)

Nymph of the emma field cricket, Teleogryllus emma, were reared on several types of artificial diets. The development period of nymphs were 55.4 days when only a single food, wheat bran, was provided, and it did not show a significant difference compared to the rearing results of the Danong diet and mixed diet. The supplying period of fish meal as the animal feed, the high emergence rates were obtained at 3rd instar with 90% and 4th instar with 100%. For the added amount test, when more than 40% of the diet was added, it confirmed that the insect weight increased. The characteristics of development according to each added amount of the vegetable food (dry bean-curd residue and corn powder) were investigated to minimize the dangers of the degeneration of diet when rearing with a single feed during the $1st{\sim}3rd$ instar period. First, as the added amount of bean-curd residue increased, nymphal development period became longer and the emergence rate became low. With corn powder as the single diet, all died before becoming adult. However, when corn powder was added up to 30%, no difference existed in the breeding results.

This research was conducted to investigate the competition for survival between the two cricket species: Gryllus bimaculatus (GB) and Teleogryllus emma (TE). The test insects for this research were bred in the greenhouse of the Ecological Entomology Lab, College of Agriculture and Biosciences, Kyungpook National University, Korea. The feeding environment was $28^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$, Long-Day condition (16L : 8D) and Relative Humidity: 50%~60%. The changes of the individual number in two species (TE, GB) were checked every day. This research had three experimental conditions which the ratios of individuals (TE : GB) were set at 1 : 2, 1 : 1 and 2 : 1. The survival rate of GB was net better than that of TE in the result of this study. However, due to the absence of the diapauses period in the egg stage, GB would dominate over TE in the field condition. The appropriate legal measure against GB is recommended.

Males of the field cricket Teleogryllus emma produce calling songs that are attractive to receptive females. The calling songs of T. emma consist of two components, the long chirp that is composed of up to 12 single pulses, followed by a variable number of short chirps. Based on the analysis of coefficient of variation (CV), temporal characters of the long chirp were less variable than those of the short chirps in male calling songs. To test for phonotactic selectivity of females, we conducted a single-stimulus playback experiment in which five stimuli (standard, long chirp only, long chirp augmented, short chirps only, and short chirps augmented) were used. The standard stimulus included both long and short chirps whose characteristics were derived from the calling songs of field populations. Results of the playback experiment showed that female crickets oriented more frequently toward the stimuli that included the long chirp (standard, long chirp only, and long chirp augmented stimuli) than toward the stimuli lacking the long chirp (short chirps only and short chirps augmented stimuli), indicating that the long chirp in the calling songs was required to elicit positive phonotaxis in the female crickets. The result of CV analysis of the male calling songs and the findings of the female phonotaxis experiment suggested that the long chirp of calling songs may play a role in species recognition in T. emma.
