The ischnoceran louse, Lipeurus tropicalis, which normally infests Gallus gallus domesticus, was subjected to in vitro study (35 ± 1 C, 75-82% relative humidity, on a feather diet). The life table was computed, and its intrinsic rate of natural increase (r) was calculated using the data from in vitro experiments. The value of the intrinsic rate of natural growth (r) is 0.032. Given this rate, a population of L. tropicalis should double after 21.66 days, indicating that it is a moderately paced breeder.
寄生在普通家鸡身上的栉眼虱，李普锐斯热带栉眼虱，在体外（35 ± 1°C，75-82%相对湿度，以羽毛为食）进行了研究。编制了生命表，并根据体外实验数据计算了其内禀增长率(r)。内禀增长率(r)的值为 0.032。根据这个增长率，李普锐斯热带栉眼虱种群应该在 21.66 天后翻倍，这表明它是一种繁殖速度中等的生物。
