Since 1730 when Reaumut introduced the concept of heat units, many methods of
calculating thermal physiological time heat have been used to simulate the phenology of …

Two values of thermal requirements, the lower developmental threshold (LDT), that is, the
temperature at which development ceases, and the sum of effective temperatures, that is …

Among environmental factors, temperature has a direct and crucial influence on the key life
processes of survival, development, reproduction, and movement of poikilothermic animals …

The study of insect responses to temperature has a long tradition in science, starting from
Réaumur's work on caterpillars in the 18th century. In 1932, Ernst Janisch wrote:'The …

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 …

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

The developmental response of insects to temperature is important in understanding the
ecology of insect life histories. Temperature-dependent phenology models permit …

The law of total effective temperature, which has been conventionally used by many
researchers, and the thermodynamic model based on enzymatic reaction, which was …

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 …

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 …
