Abstract
In laboratory studies, screwworm flies developed mature eggs over an observed temperature range of 15.7° to 43.3°C. The observed optimal temperature range was 21.8° to 37.8°C. Flies died before developing mature eggs at temperatures of 12.3°C or less. The lower and upper temperatures for maturing eggs were calculated to be greater than 12.3° and less than 47.2°C.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
