Reproduction in adults after storage of 30 and 60 days at 10oC was almost at par to that of the control (un-stored at 24oC) which in progress of
oviposition after 6 days.
The eggs from the 1st, 4th, 8th and 12th day of
oviposition were collected for the evaluation of fertility.
It could be noted that
oviposition period increased as the temperature increased or time passed by.
Glass cabinets (45 x 45 x 60 cm) with wooden base were used for the
oviposition preference studies.
nigrispinus females of the T2 and without
oviposition were dissected on the twentieth day.
The paper strips were pretreated with insecticide solutions and allowed to dry before being used in
oviposition cups (473 ml).
The bounds of acceptable
oviposition sites are largely defined by temperature and moisture (Norris 1968, Meats 1970, Sharma 1984, Beckerman 2002), which are key to survival and hatching of grasshopper eggs (Salt 1952, Moriarty 1969, Chapman & Page 1978).
geversianus and its relationship with environmental parameters (temperature and photoperiod), imposex studies, and experiments to induce
oviposition under controlled conditions with culture implications.
Data for the biliverdin content in the shell gland, uterus fluid and eggshell at various hours post
oviposition from BSD and WSD were analyzed using one-way ANOVA.
An adult female's choice of
oviposition sites could substantially affect nymph survival if her decisions determine the environment and resources available to her developing nymphs.
Oviposition decisions in the seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae): effects of seed size on superparasitism.
When edited, a total of 30 minutes of territorial guarding and male-to -male interaction, including physical contact, copulation and
oviposition was recorded.
