Temperature has been ascribed a major role in the ecology and evolution of aquatic insects
(22, 34, 82, 83, 92, 124, 131, 151). Aquatic insects respond to the entire thermal regime …

The fact that development rate of insects changes with temperature implies that the rate at
which time passes for a developing insect depends upon the temperature regime it …

Insects are essentially ectothermic organisms, with their physiological pro cesses displaying
a high degree of sensitivity to ambient temperatures. Environmental temperatures undergo …

The temperature dependence of insect development has been frequently investigated.
Temperature affects both the time of development as well as fecundity; consequen tly, the …

SYNOPSIS. Some insects adjust heat production and heat loss, while others depend upon
adjustments in location and posture to regulate body temperature. Many activities oE insects …

One of the most important factors affecting the life history characteristics and biogeography
of aquatic insects is temperature (Sweeney, 1984). Insects are poikilothermic (cold-blooded) …

Adult body size and fecundity of several species of hemimetabolous aquatic insects were
shown to depend largely on thermal conditions during larval growth. We suggest that an" …

Summary Wyeomyia smithii Coq.(Diptera: Culicidae) completes its pre-adult development
only within leaves of the purple pitcher-plant, Sarracenia purpurea. Between early June and …

In the study of insect ecology it is convenient to classify the factors that determine the
abundance of different species. Biotic and abiotic,(physical), density dependent and …

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 …
