Larval movement ofLasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) in a plane

  • Published:
Researches on Population Ecology

Summary

The mean maximum change in position of larvae ofLasioderma serricorne (F.) at 30°C, 60% RH increased by 0.290 cm/day, their mean position at the end of a 24 hour period increased by 0.245 cm/day. The linear distance from the point of origin was equal to approximately one third of the total distance moved. Either density or high numbers increased the rate of movement.
