Temperature-dependent fecundity of Delia platura (Meigen) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) and life table parameters in the laboratory

Key Points

• Fecundity increases with temperature, affecting overall population dynamics.
• At optimal temperatures, female Delia platura show significantly higher reproductive rates.
• Life table parameters illustrate the species' response to varying thermal conditions over time.
• This research highlights the need for understanding how temperature influences species fitness and survival.
