This study explored the thermal response of Drosophila suzukii, an injurious insect pest present in many countries worldwide, at different controlled conditions. species is responsible for several economic losses soft fruit cultivations, develops on ripening fruits, and has capability to quickly adapt new territories climates, closing multiple generations per year. Given its high invasive potential increasing need low-impact control strategies, in-depth exploration biology this stage fundamental. Specimens Italian strain from Apulia were reared growth chambers constant temperatures (6, 9, 13, 18, 20, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32 33 °C). The life cycle each specimen was individually tracked egg death adults, considering larval stages distinction as well. Besides development mortality, production over temperature been recorded. dataset first analysed according tables studies; then, we also estimated biological parameters most common equations describing development, fertility involved physiologically-based model applications. results confirmed extended information already literature, but with reference a population adapted warmer climates. successfully developed adult 13-29 °C, while between 6-9 29-33 °C limited L2/L3 stages. Optimal are around 26-28 depending stage. provides one complete overviews D. which available current opens door more accurate modelling frameworks.
