from a descriptive toward an explicative growth-based model on immature oulema duftschmidi (coleoptera: chrysomelidae) development at different temperatures. | the developmental rates of oulema duftschmidi (redtenbacher) eggs, larvae, and pupae were studied at different constant temperatures. a linear regression model was fitted to the data obtained in this and in a previous study within a temperature range where the rate proportionally increases with temperature. ratios of ses to the mean thermal constant and to the mean developmental threshold indicated that reliable estimates have been obtained for the three life stages. within the framework provide ... | 2007 | 17445358 |
