Abstract: Several life history trait that could influence the fitness of the insects are compared between insecticide-susceptible and malathion-specific resistant populations of the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum). Results suggested that egg fertility and egg-to-adult development time did not differ susceptible and resistant populations.
