Results obtained demonstrated that the adult longevity of B. lateralis was the highest among the three cockroach species while the male to female ratio skewed towards the male with a ratio of 1.12:1.00. Among the three species, the adult females of B. lateralis were able to produce a significantly high number of oothecae (with a maximum number recorded at 39 oothecae) over their life span. 2018-04 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/44220/ http://eprints.usm.my/44220/1/KATHLEEN%20LOW%20SU%20YIN.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Sains Kajihayat
