This research aims to understand the oviposition behavior of Helopeltis bakeri and the factors influencing egg-laying site selection.
Analyzed oviposition behavior using Behavioral Observation Research Interactive Software (BORIS)
Applied a Negative Binomial generalized linear model for statistical analysis
Developed adjacency matrices for both sexes using the igraph package in R.
Observed a 5% increase in egg production over time (p < 0.05) during twilight periods.
Documented significant variation in oviposition among plant parts (p < 0.001), with preferences for petioles and internodes.
Identified a structured oviposition process with high transitional probabilities between sequential behaviors.
