The impact of diet protein and carbohydrate on select life-history traits of the housefly Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758 (Diptera: Muscidae)
Abstract :This
study examined the impact of ten diet with different protein and carbohydrate
percentages on the immature development, survivorship, pupal and adult weight
of the house fly, Musca domestica
Linnaeus, 1758 (Diptera: Muscidae).
Different ratio of protein and carbonhydrate diet impacted development and
corresponding life-history traits. Survival from the pupal to adult stages was also found to produce significantly different between different
diet (F9,30=768.251, p=0.01). High pupal mortality were seen in
blood meal diet (92%) and chicken meal diet (96 %). Percent pupation was
significantly higher on the wheat bran diet (P:C= 1:3.4). Larvae reared on the
wheat bran diet developed the slowly but had the greatest survivorship to the
pupal and adult stage. It is important to know the effect resource has on
development M. domestica Linnaeus,
1758 helps to understant population dynamics
