Abstract
Whole and intact wheat grains or those broken into 2 or 8 equal pieces and supplemented with yeast provided as adult food to individuals ofTribolium castaneum considerably reduced the egg output in these beetles although their larvae were reared on finely powdered yeast-supplemented whole wheat flour. However, egg fertility in all the three dietary situations was 100%.
Zusammenfassung
Die Zahl abgelegter Eier vonTribolium castaneum stieg mit der Verringerung der Partikelgröße der Imaginalnahrung. Sie war maximal bei Weizenmehl und minimal bei unzerkleinerten Weizenkörnern. Die Schlüpffähigkeit der Eier blieb jedoch davon unbeeinflußt.
