Pinhassi, N., Nestel, D., & Rosen, D. 1996 Oviposition and emergence of olive scale (Homoptera: Diaspididae) crawlers: regional degree-day forecasting model.. Environmental Entomology 25: 1-6.
Notes: Investigation of the temperature-driven onset and rate of oviposition and egg hatch of the spring generation of the olive scale, Parlatoria oleae in northern Israel; phenology was studied at different elevations and on two different host species (Malus silvestris and Pyrus communis; the model accurately predicted the onset of egg hatch.
