High Temperature Triggers Latent Variation among Individuals: Oviposition Rate and Probability for Outbreaks
Figure 1
The oviposition rate of individual beetles varies more at high temperature than at low temperature.
Average number of eggs laid per day by individual Phratora vulgatissima females kept either at constant temperature (20–20–20°C) during all three experimental periods (upper graph) or transferred from high to low and then back to high temperature (20–12–20°C).
