SIMULATION OF TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT DEVELOPMENT IN POPULATION DYNAMICS MODELS12

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  31 May 2012

Abstract

The simulation of variability in temperature-dependent development is discussed. An algorithm for simulation of this variability is developed and validated under constant and variable temperature regimes for Anthonomus grandis, Trichoplusia ni, and Heliothis zea.
