Artificial Selections for Life‐History Traits Affect Effective Cumulative Temperature and Developmental Zero Point in Zeugoducus cucurbitae

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1313-1320, December 2025.
Effective cumulative temperature and developmental zero point are key predictors of organismal development and distribution. Traditionally considered species‐specific, these values can vary within populations due to genetic differences. Yet, the role of selection pressures in shaping them remains unexplored.
