Figure 3.
Maturation success (mean ± SE) after egg and larval exposures at 40 °C. Different letters above each bar indicate significant differences between exposure times at 40 °C (P < 0.05) based on post hoc tests. No eggs hatched when egg heat exposure exceeded 12 hrs. All 1st-instar larvae died after heat exposure for 24 hrs. Therefore maturation success could not be assessed for these treatments.
