Development, growth and survival of the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer), were determined at six constant temperatures. No egg hatch or larval development occurred at 17oC. At temperatures of 20, 25, 30, 35 and 38oC the median development times (days), respectively, were for eggs (13.4, 6.0, 4.4, 2.6 and 2.6), larvae (133.0, 46.0, 26.2, 22.4 and 23.9), pupae (17.0, 8.0, 5.5, 4.0 and 4.1), and from oviposition to adult emergence (164.4, 60.2, 37.9, 29.0 and 30.8). The Sharpe & DeMichele (1977) model was used to describe the temperature‐dependent development. The mean egg survival (hatching) ranged from 61% to 86%, with lowest hatch at 20oC. Survival of the larvae and pupae ranged from 32% to 73% and from 85% to 95%, respectively, with lowest survival at 20oC. Pupae had significantly lower weights at 35oC and adults at 38oC than at the other temperatures. Female pupae (20 mg) and female adults (16 mg) were significantly heavier than male pupae (17 mg) and male adults (13 mg). Adults (0.5–9 months old) laid 4–7 eggs per female per day at 25oC.}, number={1}, journal={MEDICAL AND VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY}, author={Rueda, LM and Axtell, RC}, year={1996}, month={Jan}, pages={80–86} }

The fastest development was in second instars held at 34 degrees; vesicles and oospores occurred in 50% of the larvae (the median development time) 19.7 and 25.0 h, respectively, after infection. The greatest median time to the formation of vesicles was in third instars at 15 degrees C (185.6 h) and for oospores was in second instars at 15 degrees C (152.3 h). The fungus did not form oospores in fourth instars at 15 degrees C.

The Sharpe & DeMichele four-parameter model with high-temperature inhibition described the temperature-dependent median developmental rates of both mosquito species. In both species, body size generally decreased as temperature increased. Head capsule widths in all instars in both species were significantly greater at 15 than at 30-34 degrees C. Except for the third instar of Ae. aegypti, the larval body lengths in both species were significantly greater at 15 than at 34 degrees C. All instars and pupae of both species and the adults in Cx. quinquefasciatus were significantly heavier at 15 than at 27-34 degrees C. In Cx. quinquefasciatus, survival from eclosion to adult emergence was highest in the range from 20 to 30 degrees C (85-90%) and dropped drastically at 15 (38%) and 34 degrees C (42%).

By the same monitoring method five species were recovered from beef and dairy cattle pastures: M. raptor, S. cameroni, S. endius, P. vindemiae , and D. texanus . All sampling was conducted in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. M. raptor, P. vindemiae , and S. cameroni were the most prevalent parasites in both the confined systems and the pastures, accounting for 95 to 98% of all parasites recovered.

No parasites were recovered from fly pupae at the 15 cm depth. Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders and Pachycrepoideus vindemiae (Rondani) were the first and second most abundant house fly pupal parasites collected on the surface and 3 cm beneath the surface of the poultry manure in narrow and high-rise caged-layer poultry houses. From house fly pupae 5 cm deep, P. vindemiae was rarely recovered while 5 to 12% of the parasites recovered at that depth were M. raptor. Spalangia cameroni Perkins was the most abundant Spalangia species and was recovered mostly from pupae at 5 and 10 cm deep in the manure in both houses. Other, less abundant, Spalangia species (S. endius Walker and S. nigroaenea Curtis) were recovered from fly pupae to a depth of 10 cm beneath the manure surface in both houses. Muscidifurax zaraptor, an introduced species, was released in the narrow caged-layer poultry house, and was recovered from pupae on the surface and 3 cm deep in the manure.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGICAL SCIENCE}, author={RUEDA, LM and AXTELL, RC}, year={1985}, month={Oct}, pages={444–449} }
