Reproduction and population growth parameters The effect of temperature was highly significant for the different reproductive parameters including gross ( F = 11.41; df = 4; P value = 0.00) and net ( F = 14.405; df = 4; P value = 0.00) fecundity rates, gross ( F = 15.82; df = 4; P value = 0.00) and net ( F = 17.51; df = 4; P value = 0.00) fertility rates, mean eggs per day ( F = 10.66; df = 4; P value = 0.00) and mean fertile eggs per day ( F = 13.15; df = 4; P value = 0.00) ( Table 1 ).
