The effects of temperature and carbon dioxide on pupae of Frankliniella occidentalis was studied in the laboratory. Air, nitrogen, and 40, 60, 80 or 100% carbon dioxide were compared with temperature treatments of 0, 12, 24, 30, 36 and 48 deg C for 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 or 24 h. In comparison with 1st- and 2nd-instar larvae and adults, pupae were the most resistant stage to temperature. No patterns of mortality were apparent as a function of oxygen level.
