摘要：

Optimal posteclosion ovarian development in monarch butterflies occurs at .apprx. 28.degree. C. Higher and lower temperatures appear progressively inhibitory. Reproductive gland development in males follows a similar pattern. Juvenile hormone [JH] injections stimulate oocyte maturation in animals held at 20.degree. and 35.degree. C, but are most effective at the higher temperature. JH injections are ineffective at 10.degree. and 15.degree. C. The stimulatory effect of increasing photophase on ovarian development is most apparent at optimal temperature. The possible significance of these findings to monarch migration is discussed.
