Thermal-induced larval mobility following the shift of cultivation.

Abstract

<p>Arithmetic means ± S.E.M recorded from larvae reared at both 27 and 30°C of total distance travelled in 300s were plotted (n≥12). White arrow shows the shift of cultivation temperature from 27 to 30°C. Black circle shows the temperature at which larval mortality was evident for both 27 and 30°C-reared colony. This figure indicates the change of larval mobility pattern matches the shift of rearing temperature.</p
