Muñiz, Mariano | Andrés, Mª.P. | Burgos, R.
Laboratory experiments with single pairs have been carried out in order to study the parental age effects on the adult progeny's longevity and reproduction of Ceratitis capitata Wied. The results obtained with adults whose parents were 5,15 and 21 days old showed that,in general,the highest fecundity and fertility levels were observed in females originated from old parents. Males lived significantly more than females and the life span of males originated from old parents was higher than the one of males offspring from young parents. The considered populations did not differ significantly in the fecundity and fertility periods. Conditions during the experiments were 26ºC, 65%RH and 12:1 2 hrs. L:D regime.
