“…These results are confirmed by the comparison of nesting activities of "heated" and "unheated" patches and provide clear evidence for an accelerating, physiological effect of higher soil temperature on the development of the larvae. This is consistent with numerous studies on the effect of temperature on development (Eliopoulos and Stathas, 2003;Gilbert and Raworth, 1996;Grafton-Cardwell et al, 2005;Howe, 1967;Kamm, 1974;Melville and Schulte, 2001;Porter, 1988;Whitfield and Richards, 1992). The negative correlation of soil temperature with the duration of provisioning of B1 workers might be due to a longer daily activity of workers at warmer patches, thereby reducing the number of days needed to provision the next brood.…”

“…We hypothesized that due to the well known effect of temperatures on biological processes (Cossins and Bowler, 1987;Gilbert and Raworth, 1996;Howe, 1967), higher temperatures will shorten the different phases of the nesting cycle of L. malachurum. We expected this effect to be strongest during the early stages of the flight season, when weather conditions are cooler and less predictable.…”

Abstract. The physiology and behavior of ectothermic organisms is strongly influenced by temperature. For ground nesting species like the primitively eusocial halictid bee, Lasioglossum malachurum, soil temperature might influence the life cycle as well as the complexity of the social group since the number of broods that can be fitted into the flight season might increase with increasing temperature. Our study population of L. malachurum at Wuerzburg exhibits a remarkable variability with respect to the number of broods and the pattern of sexual production. Broods are separated by activity pauses during which the larvae develop. In this study we investigate the influence of soil temperature on the pattern of nesting activity (duration of broods and pauses) and on the number of broods in L. malachurum. We observed a total of 1138 nests in 13 aggregations near Wuerzburg. As expected, soil temperature shortened the duration of the pauses, resulting in an overall shortening of the nesting cycle. This is most probably due to a physiological effect of soil temperature on the development of the larvae. With regard to the nesting strategies, we hypothesized that a shortening of the nesting cycle within the limited flight season should enhance the success of a strategy with more worker broods. In fact, patches with higher soil temperature showed more broods. However, this effect was rather weak, suggesting that other factors might have a stronger impact on the variability in nesting strategy within our study population of L. malachurum.

“…Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Wulp, 1896) (Muscidae), aos 28ºC, leva, em média, 24 horas para completar o desenvolvimento embrionário, com os adultos sendo criados em dieta à base de açúcar e pedaços de carne bovina (RABINOVICH 1970). A variação encontrada no período de incubação pode Desenvolvimento de Ophyra albuquerquei Lopes ser causada pelo tempo de retenção dos ovos no útero da fêmea (HOWE 1966), pela variação inter-específica ou mesmo entre populações, estando relacionada à dieta utilizada para os adultos (PARRA 1991). Pode também ser causada pelos intervalos de observações ou mesmo, devido à plasticidade fenotípica inerente a cada espécie, influenciando a estimativa das médias destes períodos.…”

ABSTRACT. Development of Ophyra albuquerquei Lopes (Diptera, Muscidae) in laboratory conditions. Ophyra albuquerquei may often be a potential predator of Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758 in poultry and pig houses in southern Brazil. Here we address the developmental period of immatures stages and their viability. To obtain eggs, larvae and pupae, a colony was established in the laboratory. Adult flies were fed on a diet comprising two parts dry milk, two parts sugar and one part fish flour. Larval diet comprised one part fish flour and one part sawdust and water. The eggs, larvae and pupae were incubated at 26º ± 1ºC, 75% ± 10% R.H. and 12 h photoperiod. The egg to adult cycle took 573 h with a total viability of 64%. The shortest of the stages was the egg stage, which lasted about 20 h. The larval stage had the lowest viability (about 82%) and longest time interval (279 h). Overall, the results of this study show that O. albuquerquei can be readily maintained in the laboratory.

The present study deals with the effects of variation in temperature and humidity on the different life cycle stages of Calliphoridae fly Chrysomya saffranea. In India for first time, Chrysomya saffranea was recorded apart from Australia as a native place of this fly.In this study different life cycle stages of Chrysomya saffranea in different seasons were observed. In summer season when the average temperature ranged between 30.5°C and 33.2°C and the average humidity ranged between 12% to 19%, life cycle duration was completed in 220 h (9.17 days) from the depositing of eggs up to the eclosion of adults. But in rainy season when the average temperature ranged between 25.6°C and 28.9°C, and the average humidity ranged between 50% to 65%, life cycle duration was completed in 259 h (10.79 days), while in winter season when the average temperature ranged between 17.8°C and 24.4°C, and the average humidity ranged between 17% to 28%, life cycle duration was completed in 341 h (14.21 days) from eggs up to emergence of the adults.The temperature and humidity are the most important factors playing role in the larval development, decay and degradation of the cadavers. Therefore, the climatic fluctuations and environmental changes play an important role in the life cycle of Chrysomya saffranea. All these factors must be considered in the Post Mortem Interval determination.
