Influence of Temperature and Larval Food oncertain Biological Aspectsof Chrysomyamegacephala(Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
The influence ofthreerearing temperatures; 20, 25 and 30°C on the duration,percentage survival, fecundityand wing formation inChrysomyamegacephala(Diptera: Calliphoridae) were investigated. The duration ofall stages significantly decreased with the increase in rearing temperature. The highest survival of adults and the lowest malformationwere recorded at 25°C.Fecundity was not significantly affected by the change in temperatures. Larvae feed on beef meat had the highest fecundity and survival,followed by those feed on chicken meat andbeef liver. Larvae reared on artificial media produced adults with low survival and failed to lay any eggs.We hypothesize that time for each stage of development will be affected by the larval rearing substrate (media type) as well as the temperatures to which the flies were exposed to throughout their life cycles.
