Abstract:
This study determines the development rates of the immature stages of the fly Ophyra albuquerquei Lopes, 1985. In this study, with 70% relative humidity and a 12-h photophase, eggs, larvae, and pupae were kept in a biochemical oxygen demand chamber at temperatures of 10, 15, 17, 20, 22, 25, 27, 30, 33, 35, and 40°C. While the rearing temperature increases, the development time for each immature stage of O. albuquerquei decreases and these stages develop at temperatures from 10 to 35°C. For eggs, the average minimum development time was 16h, and the average maximum development time was 81h. The average minimum development time for larvae and pupae was 7 and 6 days, respectively, and the average maximum development time was 22 and 42 days, respectively. To understand the development rate of each immature stage of the fly, a mathematical model is presented.
