  1. SE was estimated by bootstrapping (100,000). Whereas APOP, TPOP, T, r, λ, and Ro represents an adult pre-oviposition period (days), total pre-oviposition period (days), mean generation time (days), intrinsic rate of increase (d−1), and finite rate of increase (d−1), net reproductive rate (offspring) respectively, means sharing similar letters in each row are not significantly different at P > 0.05.
