Temperature strongly affects insect biological response. Effects of temperature on the sex ratio, preoviposition, fecundity, egg hatchability rate, and adult longevity L1 T Thrips tabaci lineages were studied under laboratory conditions at three constant levels (15, 23, 30°C) cabbage tobacco leaf discs, respectively. Results showed that all tested life table parameters lineages. The proportion ...
