Summary

"This is the first of several small experiments to study the effects of different temperatures on the development of Protophormia terraenovae, a species of blow fly. The objective of this study was to determine if Protophormia terraenovae developmental rates differ when they are raised under constant versus fluctuating temperatures. These data can now be used in death investigations in this region of British Columbia."
