The Developmental Processes of <i>Dolycoris baccarum</i> (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) Under Different Temperature Regimes.

ABSTRACT: Understanding how insects adapt to temperature is crucial to elucidating the ecological factors shaping their life history traits. Phenological models are influenced by temperature, allowing researchers to examine how temperature affects population dynamics, geographical distribution, and the management of various insect species. This study was conducted at seven constant temperatures (15.3, 20.8, 25.0, 27.0, 30.1, 35.0, and 40.0 °C) under temperature-controlled conditions in an incubator to assess temperature-dependent development of D. baccarum. Clusters of eggs were put into Petri dishes and kept in a humidity chamber. The humidity chamber was then placed inside the incubator. Temperature affected the developmental parameters and mortality of D. baccarum reared on sesame s
