Maternal Frass is Necessary for Embryonic Development in Weiseana barkeri Jacoby (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Australian Journal of Entomology, Vol.36(1), pp.95-96
1997
Abstract
Eggs of Weiseana barkeri, a potential biological control agent for Acacia nilotica, are laid in batches covered in frass. An experiment measuring embryonic development in eggs with and without a frass covering indicated the presence of frass is necessary for the termination of diapause and the initiation of development in egg batches.
