STUDIES ON MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INSECT DEVELOPMENT AND TEMPERATURE
昆虫发育速率与温度关系的数学模型研究

This paper deals with the quantitative relation between insect developmental rate and temperature. After analysing some of the classical and prevailing models on this subject, a second order ordinary differential equation model of developmental rate with respect to temperature is developed, which is based on two main assumptions about the dynamics of developmental rate, one is the effect of temperature on insect development, obeying the logistic law in favorable temperature range j the other is insect devel...
