The female then
oviposited about 400 eggs that were dispersed among the spicules forming the pubescence on the stem of S.
Size of clutch did not vary among years ([F.sub.5,33] = 0.65, P = 0.67) for
oviposited clutches.
variabilis engorged female ticks and lower egg masses
oviposited by these females than by uninfected females.
In Bauhinia brevipes (Fabaceae), a leaf gall midge Asphondylia microcapillata (Cecidomyiidae: Diptera)
oviposited and survived preferentially on medium-sized shoots (9.6-24.5 cm) (Santos et al., 2008).
All females of the laboratory generation made the first oviposition up the second day of host exposition, and only one from the field generation
oviposited after the fourth day.
Eggs
oviposited on each aliquot were counted using a stereo microscope.
The methodology included bringing butterflies into captivity, assuring proper breeding, and collecting
oviposited eggs on host-plants within a greenhouse environment.
Habitat quality is measured as survival of egg clusters
oviposited during the week in question.
Newly
oviposited egg masses are yellow-orange, but as embryonic development proceeds, they gradually turn dark brown and eventually black (4, 6).
We used regression equations from the egg-per-ovipuncture experiment to predict the number of eggs
oviposited in each plot from the number of ovipunctures.
azureus
oviposited on the bottom of the arena, after digging the soil above it, corroborating the observation on Phelister panamensis LeConte (Coleoptera: Histeridae) (Summerlin et al.
To measure egg development,
oviposited eggs (n= 25) were collected every day and placed in Petri dishes.
