Abstract:In the present study, the reproduction potential and survival capability of the soil nematode Pristionchus maupasi was followed in 10 cm 2 Petri dishes at different constant temperatures: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 o C. The experiment started by placing nematode eggs on each dish. The minimum number of days from eggs, at start, to adult egg producing nematodes, decreased from 7 days at 10 o C to 3 days at 25 o C. At 5 o C no eggs hatched, and at 30 o C the released larvae did not develop into egg producing adult… Show more
