Abstract

This study aimed to determine the influence and optimal conditions of incubation temperature and relative humidity (RH) on the egg hatchability patterns of two-spotted (Gryllus bimaculatus) and house (Acheta domesticus) crickets. Experiment I involved 100 cricket eggs per hatching box for each species, with six replications for each controlled incubation temperature of 23, 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33 °C at 70% RH. Experiment II used all the same procedures as Experiment I, except for incubation temperatures of 29, 30, 31, and 32 °C tested with varied RH levels of 65%, 70%, and 75%. In Experiment I, two-spotted crickets (9.47 ± 1.99 days) exhibited faster hatching than house crickets (13.70 ± 2.78 days). Additionally, the onset of hatching decreased with higher incubation temperatures for both types of crickets. In Experiment II, an incubation temperature of 31 °C and 70% RH resulted in a hatching rate of 79.75% for two-spotted crickets, with hatching beginning in 6 days. For house cricket eggs, the optimal conditions of 30 °C and 65–75% RH led to a peak daily hatching rate of 62.00–65.50% and hatching onset in 12 days. Thus, this study established the optimal incubation temperature and RH for egg hatching of two-spotted and house crickets.

孵化温度和相对湿度对双斑蟋蟀（Gryllus bimaculatus）和家养蟋蟀（Acheta domesticus）卵孵化模式的影响

本研究旨在确定孵化温度和相对湿度（RH）对二斑蟋蟀（Gryllus bimaculatus）和家养蟋蟀（Acheta domesticus）卵孵化模式的影响和最佳条件。实验 I 每个物种每个孵化箱孵化 100 颗蟋蟀卵，每种控制孵化温度为 23、25、27、29、30、31、32 和 33 ℃，相对湿度为 70%，共六次重复。实验 II 采用与实验 I 相同的程序，但孵化温度为 29、30、31 和 32 °C，相对湿度为 65%、70% 和 75%。在实验 I 中，二斑蟋蟀的孵化期（9.47 ± 1.99 天）比家养蟋蟀的孵化期（13.70 ± 2.78 天）快。此外，孵化温度越高，两种蟋蟀的孵化期越短。在实验二中，孵化温度为 31 °C，相对湿度为 70%时，二斑蟋蟀的孵化率为 79.75%，6 天后开始孵化。对于家养蟋蟀卵，30 °C和65-75%相对湿度的最佳条件可使日孵化率达到62.00-65.50%的峰值，孵化开始时间为12天。因此，这项研究确定了二斑蟋蟀和家蟋卵孵化的最佳孵化温度和相对湿度。

期刊介绍： Animals (ISSN 2076-2615) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes original research articles, reviews, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves animals, including zoology, ethnozoology, animal science, animal ethics and animal welfare. However, preference will be given to those articles that provide an understanding of animals within a larger context (i.e., the animals'' interactions with the outside world, including humans). There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental details and/or method of study, must be provided for research articles. Articles submitted that involve subjecting animals to unnecessary pain or suffering will not be accepted, and all articles must be submitted with the necessary ethical approval (please refer to the Ethical Guidelines for more information).
