Randomized trial quantifies the impact of temperature and exposure duration on egg hatching success in Aedes koreicus, suggesting implications for invasion potential in colder climates.
Key Points
This research investigates how temperature and egg diapause affect the hatching success of Aedes koreicus eggs during winter.
Experimental exposure of diapausing and non-diapausing Ae. koreicus eggs to fluctuating cold regimes from 5 °C to -20 °C for 2 to 30 days
Control conditions maintained at a constant 5 °C
Generalized linear beta-binomial models analyzed hatching success across temperature and duration.
