Laboratory experiments established that males of Stomoxys calcitrans, raised at a high temperature (30 degrees C), had frons widths that were very significantly smaller (P=0,01) than those of males raised at a lower temperature (20 degrees C). Thus, although the frons width is apparently controlled genetically, it can also be influenced by temperature. It was also established that temperature acted on the fully-fed 3rd instar larva to affect the adult male frons width.
实验室实验表明，在高温（30摄氏度）下饲养的厩螫蝇雄性个体，其额宽比在低温（20摄氏度）下饲养的雄性个体显著小得多（P = 0.01）。因此，虽然额宽显然受遗传控制，但它也会受到温度的影响。还确定温度作用于饱食的三龄幼虫，从而影响成年雄性的额宽。
