Abstract
A model for the selection of boll weevil oviposition sites by size category is presented. The predictions of the preference model are similar to ten weekly experimental distributions obtained throughout the 1978 growing season. Chi-squared goodness of fit tests support the model predictions; whereas, the nonpreference hypothesis for ovipositional site selection is statistically rejected.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
