The temperature dependence of embryonic and larval development in Protonemura intricata (Plecoptera: Nemouridae)
Egg development and larval growth of Protonemura intricata (Ris, 1902) (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) were studied in the laboratory and in the Breitenbach, a small stream in Germany (F.R.G.). The length of embryonic development (Y, days) is strongly inversely temperature (T, °C) dependent. The length of...
