Practice Questions
Question 1
What is the purpose of an isomegalen diagram in forensic entomology?
Question 2
What does the thermal summation constant (k) represent in degree-day development models?
Question 3
A forensic entomologist records a requirement of 3600 accumulated degree-hours (ADH) for a particular larval stage. What is the equivalent accumulated degree-days (ADD)?
Question 4

Question 5
Which model explicitly accounts for the curvilinear relationship between temperature and insect development at thermal extremes?
