Experiments were conducted to compare the immature development of Protophormia terraenovae (Robineau-Desvoidy) at fluctuating temperatures of 4-28 and 9-23 °C to their mean constant temperature, 16 °C. Overall development was fastest at the greater fluctuation and slowest at the constant temperature but showed similar percentages of development time in each stage. The rate summation effect is suspected to have caused this difference in development rate because fluctuations above the mean increase the rate relatively more than temperatures below the mean can lower the rate.
进行了实验,以比较新陆原伏蝇(Robineau-Desvoidy)在4-28℃和9-23℃波动温度下的未成熟发育情况与其平均恒温16℃下的发育情况。总体发育在较大波动时最快,在恒温时最慢,但各阶段的发育时间百分比相似。怀疑速率累加效应导致了这种发育速率的差异,因为高于平均值的波动相对增加速率的幅度比低于平均值的温度降低速率的幅度更大。
