Comparison of Number of Generations, Duration of 2nd-4th Generations under Various Climate Change Conditions at Erie, PA and Stuarts Draft, VA.

Note: Stuarts stands for Stuart Draft, VA in the table. Annual mean temperature increased by 2°C in rows 2 through 5, but is achieved through different changes in the DTR. A positive k1 increases the Tmin. A negative k2 indicates a rising Tmax. There is substantial change in mean number of generations and duration of each generation compared to the current condition (row 1, k1= k2 = 0). Different DTRs also change these life history variables, even with the same 2°C increase in mean temperature. The decimal of number of generations results from taking the average of 1,000 simulations, and the number of generation in each simulation is a discrete integer number.Comparison of Number of Generations, Duration of 2nd-4th Generations under Various Climate Change Conditions at Erie, PA and Stuarts Draft, VA.
