title: The developmental response of flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) to tropical seasons : Variation in generation time and diapause in east africa.
abstract: In a tropical environment near the equator in Nairobi, Kenya, flesh fly development is nearly continuous throughout the year with only a few individuals being channeled into pupal diapause during the coldest months. Two species reared in a field cage completed 7 generations/year. Generation time for nondiapause flies varied from 41 to 62 days.
