Laboratory investigations on the developmental rate at low relative humidity and the developmental temperature limit of Pagiocerus frontalis (Fab.) (Col., Scolytidae) at high and low temperatures
Anzeiger für Schädlingskunde, Pflanzenschutz, Umweltschutz 69 (8), 180-182
Abstract: Pagiocerus frontalis produced offspring on maize between 13° C and 30° C. Below and above these temperatures development was not completed. The optimum developmental temperature was 25° C. P. frontalis was able to produce F₁ between 20% and 75% r.h. though the mortality at lower rel. humidities was high.
