Effect of constant temperatures on the development of the peach fruitfly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders)(Diptera: Tephritidae). [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
The immature stages of B. zonata developed successfully within a temperature range of 15 to 35°C. The developmental periods of the fly from egg to adult reported at 15 to 30°C were 3 to 12.73; 6.13 to 21.17 and 7.03 to 40.09 days for eggs, larvae and pupae, respectively. The high temperature of 35°C retarded the duration of the immature stages. Egg survival of the immature stages of the pest was relatively high at high temperatures; it was 18.61% at 15°C and 95% at 25°C for eggs; 30.11% at 15°C and 86.7% at 25°C for larvae; and 26.0% at 15°C and 85.19% at 25°C for pupae. The threshold of development and thermal units (day-degrees) were also determined. The temperature thresholds for eggs, larvae and pupae were 10°C, 10°C and 11.75°C, while the thermal units were 45.6 to 60; 122.6 to 130.6; and 102.56 to 132.83 (day-degrees) for the three immature stages, respectively.
