title: Life table of Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Van der Wulp) (Diptera: Muscidae) under uncontrolled laboratory environments - a preliminary study.
abstract: The life history of the male and female of the indoor forensic fly, Synthesiomyia   nudiseta was studied under fluctuating temperature of indoor environments and analysed   based on the age-stage and two sex life table. The life cycle of S. nudiseta was 14.0±1.0 days   from the egg stage to adult emergence. The population parameters calculated were; net   reproduction rate (R(o)= 108.6), mean generation time (T(o)= 12.2), intrinsic rate of increase (r(m)=   0.38), and finite rate of increase (λ= 1.46). The pre-oviposition period (APOP) was 6.0± 0.1   days. All population parameters suggested that S. nudiseta exhibits the r-strategist   characteristics.
