Abstract

Reproductive Behaviour of Synthesiomyia nudiseta van der Wulp (Diptera: Muscidae) under Laboratory Conditions - Observations were carried out on the reproductive behavior of Synthesiomyia nudiseta females. The results of the biological parameters were: pre-oviposition period (15.5+/-4.7 days), oviposition period (25.4+/-14.7 days), number of eggs per oviposition (95.9+/-18.4) rate of ovipositant females (97.5%), number of ovipositions (5.31+/-3.2), number of eggs per females (509.7+/- 324.9), rate of hatching (68.0+/-19.0), female longevity (53.2+/-14.7 days), reproductive potential (67.4%) and reproductive investiment (4.1)
