Many insects enter a dormant state termed diapause in anticipation of seasonal inhospitable
conditions. Insects drastically reduce their feeding during diapause. Their reduced nutrient …

Three acclimation groups [ie non-diapause (LD), diapause (SD) and diapause, cold-
acclimated (SDA)] of the adult bugs Pyrrhocoris apterus differed markedly in their levels of …

In temperate regions, the shortening day length informs many insect species to prepare for
winter by inducing diapause. The adult diapause of the linden bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus …

Seasonal dynamics of ecophysiological parameters are described which are relevant to
overwintering in field-collected adults of a Czech population of the red firebug, Pyrrhocoris …

This is the second part of the article where the available information from the published
literature on the wing dimorphism/polymorphism occurring among true bugs (Heteroptera) is …

The effect of an insecticide, permethrin (Ambush 25 EC), on the titre of two adipokinetic
hormones in the central nervous system (CNS) and haemolymph of the firebug Pyrrhocoris …

Digestive processes and the effect of adipokinetic hormone (Pyrap-AKH) on the amount of
nutrients (lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates), and on the activity of digestive enzymes …

Chill tolerance (time of survival at-5° C) increased in non-diapausing (reproducing) adults of
P. apterus after a gradual, 4-week-long decrease in ambient temperature from 25 to 0° C …

We tested the hypothesis that adults of flightless long‐winged (macropterous) and short‐
winged (brachypterous) morphs of Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.)(Heteroptera) differ in their …

The linden bug Pyrrhocoris apterus exhibits a robust diapause response to photoperiod.
Photoperiod strongly affected basal levels of circadian gene transcripts in the gut, via the …
