In insects, temperature strongly influences phenotype, and insects differ in sensitivity to
temperature. The viable temperature range might be narrow or wide, and body size often …

The relationship between temperature and the developmental rate of organisms is crucial for
understanding a variety of biological processes. It is common to use an average‐based …

The impact of temperature on developmental duration of insects has been long kept a high
profile in the studies of insect pests. The relationship between developmental rate, which is …

The linear and Logan models are usually used to describe the effect of temperature on
insect developmental rate. The linear model is often used to estimate the lower …

We proposed two improvements to the Logan model of temperature-dependent
development. We first eliminated a redundant parameter (modification 1) then incorporated …

The rate of insect growth depends on temperature, with slower growth occurring at colder
temperatures and faster growth occurring at warmer temperatures. The coldest temperature …

Case studies on development-time data collected at constant and varying temperatures in a
number of insects have been analyzed in a comparative manner to investigate the effects of …

1. The objective of this study was to test the theoretical prediction that the thermal tolerance
range for development in insects should be about 20° C. 2. The data on the thermal …

Developmental time data collected at constant temperatures poorly predicted developmental
times of red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), and 16 other species at fluctuating …

Characterizing the temperature-dependent development rate requires empirical data
acquired by rearing individuals at different temperatures. Many mathematical models can be …
