Advancements in Life Tables Applied to Integrated Pest Management with an Emphasis on Two-Sex Life Tables [PDF]
InsectsLife tables are indispensable in IPM, offering an analysis of insect population dynamics. These tables record survival rates, fecundity, and other parameters at various developmental stages, enabling the identification of key factors that affect ...

Life tables in entomology: A discussion on tables' parameters and the importance of raw data. [PDF]
PLoS ONELife tables are one of the most common tools to describe the biology of insect species and their response to environmental conditions. Although the benefits of life tables are beyond question, we raise some doubts about the completeness of the ...

The entropy of the life table: A reappraisal [PDF]
Theoretical Population Biology, 2015 The life table entropy provides useful information for understanding improvements in mortality and survival in a population. In this paper we take a closer look at the life table entropy and use advanced mathematical methods to provide additional insights for understanding how it relates to changes in mortality and survival. By studying the entropy (H)

Nutritional ecology bridges the gap between mites’ biological and ecological research results under Mediterranean environment [PDF]
Acarines: Journal of the Egyptian Society of Acarology, 2020 Under Mediterranean conditions a conflict between mite laboratory studies concerning thermal effects on growth durations, rates, life table parameters and field population dynamics was observed.
