Insect diapause is a dynamic process consisting of several successive phases. The
conception and naming of the phases is unsettled and, sometimes, ambiguous in the …

The use of the postmortem interval (PMI) in practical applications of forensic entomology is
based upon developmental data of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) generated under …

The rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis, enters facultative diapause as fully grown larvae in
response to short-day conditions during the autumn. Our results showed that the critical …

Laboratory studies on the temperature-dependent development of Sesamia nonagrioides
(Lefebvre) were performed under five constant temperatures ranging from 20 to 30° C as …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations have attained a higher level (> 400 ppm)
than at any time in recent geological history (> 800 K years), and the global climate has …

Effects of photoperiod and cold exposure on diapause termination, post-diapause
development and reproduction in Loxostege sticticalis were examined. Larvae were reared …

The intensity of pupal diapause in the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) was
investigated under both laboratory and natural conditions. By transferring diapausing pupae …

Females of Osmia rufa, as most species in this genus, enter an obligatory diapause,
overwintering as an imago inside a cocoon until the ensuing spring when after emergence …

The influence of long‐and short‐day cycles on ovipostion and egg hatch of the corn stalk
borer, Sesamia nonagrioides were investigated at a range of temperatures. Oviposition was …

Sericinus montelus overwinters as diapausing pupae. In the present study, the effects of
photoperiod and temperature on diapause induction and termination of diapause are …
