Abstract
The biology and reproductive rates of Aëroglyphus robustus (Banks) were examined at two humidities and different temperatures. The life cycle was shorter at 70–75% relative humidity (r.h.) than at 85–90% r.h. At 28 °C more eggs were laid at 85–90% r.h. than at 70–75% r.h. Low net reproduction rates were found for this species.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
