Abstract excerpt
The cabbage maggot, Delia radicum L., has a bimodal pattern of emergence caused by the presence in populations of early and late-emerging genotypes that differ in their pupal development time. These genotypes could also express different egg-laying strategies. To examine oviposition patterns between genotypes and, particularly, their response to temperature, the egg-laying activity of females and egg mortality...
