Genetic and environmental effects on the weight of Lixophaga diatraeae (Diptera:Tachinidae) at different stages of development

  • 1. Centro Nacional de Sanidad Agropecuaria, La Habana (Cuba)

Description

The relationships between the initial weight of pupa, weight after 24 hours and initial image weight were studied, together with the effects on the latter of the larval and pupal cycles, the effective weight of the substitute host (Galleria mellonella) and sex. The three characters showed low hereditability and susceptibility during the cycle. The most important effects detected were those of host weight and of sex. (author). 18 refs, 1 fig., 5 tabs
