Abstract: Zeugodacus cucurbitae is an important pest of fruit and vegetable crops in tropical and subtropical regions, and high-temperature stress can have different effects on the development and reproduction of successive generations of Z. cucurbitae . To clarify the multigenerational effects of short-time high temperature on the development and reproduction of Z. cucurbitae , the newly emerged adults of the contemporary (F 1 generation) and the next generation (F 2 generation) were exposed to short-term high temperatures of 25 °C, 33 °C, 37 °C, 41 °C, and 45 °C for 1 h, and the multigenerational (F 1 , F 2 , and F 3 generation) effects of these temperatures on the development and reproduction of Z. cucurbitae were evaluated. The results showed that (1) when the F 1 was exposed to short-term high temperature, the egg production and lifespan of the F 1 decreased continuously with the increasing temperature, except for the 45 °C treatment for 1 h, which stimulated egg production. Only the 41 °C group had significantly higher egg production and lifespan than the control group in the F 3 . (2) In the F 1 and F 2 that were exposed to short-term high temperature, the F 1 and F 3 were consistent with the results of F 1 that were exposed to short-term high temperature. In conclusion, the effects of high-temperature intensity and frequency on multiple generations of Z. cucurbitae were different. The results of this study can elucidate the effects of short-term high-temperature stress on the growth, development, and reproduction of Z. cucurbitae in different generations, and provide a reference basis for the integrated control of Z. cucurbitae .
