FIGURE 2.
Rearing temperature affects pupal duration and eclosion rate. (a) Third instar Eristalis tenax larvae were moved to different temperatures just before pupation, and kept in that temperature until eclosion. The data show the duration of the pupal stage, as a function of pupal rearing temperature (for N numbers and statistical results, see Tables 1, 2, 3). (b) The data show the percentage of pupae that eclosed as a function of rearing temperature per batch.
