摘要: Background In insects, oviposition decisions may lead to egg deposition in substrates with different larval density and nutritional levels. Individuals developing such present plasticity their phenotype. Here, we investigated the effect of two factors related decisions, namely substrate quality, on wing size shape stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans L. (Diptera: Muscidae).
