A Dynamic Energy Budget Approach for the Prediction of Development Times and Variability in <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> Rearing

A major challenge in insect rearing is the need to provide certain life cycle stages at a given time for the initiation of experimental trials. The timing of delivery, organism quality, and variability directly affect the outcome of such trials. Development times and intraspecific variability are di...
