Abstract
Diastylis sculpta has two generations per year. The mean fecundity for the summer and overwintering females was 20.9 and 72.3 respectively. The marsupial larval stages increase in volume from 0.020 mm3, stage I, to 0.162 mm3, stage IV. The duration of release of the entire brood per female averaged 145 h (range 63–206 h). About 2% of the overwintering females produce a second brook.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
