p. 1060 right column 3rd paragraph:"In the first larval instar (24 to 49 hr after fertilization [AF]), the wing disc grows moderately and without cell division (primary source Madhavan & Schneiderman). Growth becomes exponential during the second (49–72 hr AF) and early third instar (72–150 hr AF), then achieving ∼10–11 rounds of cell divisions, each of which takes ∼8.5 hr at 25 °C (primary source Garcia-Bellido & Merriam, 1971)." Duration of each stage: 1st larval instar ~25 hrs (moderate, no division), 2nd instar ~ 23 hrs (exponential), early 3rd instar ~78 hrs (exponential). |
