The study of insect responses to temperature has a long tradition in science, starting from
Réaumur's work on caterpillars in the 18th century. In 1932, Ernst Janisch wrote:'The …

This balanced, comprehensive account traces the alterations in body form that insects
undergo as they adapt to seasonal change, exploring both theoretical aspects and practical …

A stochastic thermodynamic model of poikilotherm development has been derived from the
Eyring equation assuming multiple activity states of the underlying developmental control …

Two novel and simple mathematical models of arthropod temperature-dependent
development are proposed. These models are easy to use and have 3 (equation 1) and 4 …

A new description of temperature-dependent, rate phenomena was deduced to describe
developmental time and ovipositional data for the McDaniel spider mite, Tetranychus …

approaches and practical examples of insect pest management in agricultural, post harvest …

This paper (i) reviews temperature/development rate relationships in plants and
poikilothermic invertebrates,(ii) argues that the relationship is often linear over much of the …

Since 1730 when Reaumut introduced the concept of heat units, many methods of
calculating thermal physiological time heat have been used to simulate the phenology of …

We collected developmental, survival, and reproduction data for Aphis fabae Scopoli
