Abstract:
The life history of the male and female of the indoor forensic fly, Synthesiomyia
nudiseta was studied under fluctuating temperature of indoor environments and analysed
based on the age-stage and two sex life table. The life cycle of S. nudiseta was 14.0±1.0 days
from the egg stage to adult emergence. The population parameters calculated were; net
reproduction rate (Ro= 108.6), mean generation time (To= 12.2), intrinsic rate of increase (rm=
0.38), and finite rate of increase (λ= 1.46). The pre-oviposition period (APOP) was 6.0± 0.1
days. All population parameters suggested that S. nudiseta exhibits the r-strategist
characteristics.
