SummaryThe long‐term population dynamics of the swallowtail butterfly, Papilio xuthus, were studied by means of life table analysis in a deforested area, where the host tree, Zanthoxylum ailanthoides, was growing. The number of eggs laid on host trees in the deforested area decreases as secondary succession progresses. When the trees were classified into three groups, i. e. tall, medium and short, according to their height relative to the surrounding vegetation, less eggs were laid on tall than on short host trees. Life tables for the natural populations in each generation were developed on the basis of mean values for 6 years. Eggs and larvae in early stages were attacked chiefly by small‐ and middle‐sized predators, such as ants, spiders, bugs and orthopterids, while later stage larvae were attacked chiefly by birds or Polistes wasps. An inchneumonid wasp was the most important mortality factor in the pupal stage. Key‐factor analysis was tested on the life table data of each immature stage. The late larval stage was a key stage, and most mortality factors were considered to operate independently. The test for density dependency did not show any tendencies. The analysis of variance in two‐way classifications was carried out for the difference of survival rate among the tree groups. It was suggested that tall host trees were unsuitable for P. xuthus. The construction of life tables for artificially inoculated populations on large host trees showed that high physiological death rate were characteristic of such trees in comparison with natural populations on smaller trees. The characteristics of the population dynamics of P. xuthus in the deforested area are compared among some kinds of the habitat, and the interrelationship between P. xuthus and its host plant are discussed.
