Environmental impacts on diapause and survival of the alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Megachile rotundata exhibits a facultative prepupal diapause but the cues regulating diapause initiation are not well understood. Possible cues include daylength and temperature. Megachile rotundata females experience changing daylengths over the nesting

Response of Saddled Prominent (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) Pupae to Desiccation, Cold Treatment, and Post-Cold Treatment Incubation Temperature [PDF]
, 2017 Saddled prominent, Heterocampa guttivitta, pupae were placed at 1.5oC for 50 to 200 days, then incubated at one of four post-cold temperatures ranging from 10° to 26.7°C. Adults emerged from pupae exposed to all cold treatment periods.

The small heat shock protein p26 aids development of encysting Artemia embryos, prevents spontaneous diapause termination and protects against stress. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Artemia franciscana embryos enter diapause as encysted gastrulae, a physiological state of metabolic dormancy and enhanced stress resistance. The objective of this study was to use RNAi to investigate the function of p26, an abundant, diapause-specific ...

Thermoperiodic effects on diapause of Sesamia nonagrioides (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2002 The role of the thermophotoperiod on larval diapause induction and development of Sesamia nonagrioides was investigated under laboratory conditions. The incidences of diapause by TC 12 : 12 thermoperiods under DD, in which the thermophase was 30°C and ...

Diapause in the Boll Weevil, Anthonontus grandis Boheman, As Related to Fruiting Activity in the Cotton Plant [PDF]
, 1973 Studies in Arkansas show that boll weevil diapause is related to changes in fruiting activity of the cotton plant. Generally, when larval development took place while fruiting levels were increasing or being held at a high level, diapause in resulting ...

Why is there no impact of the host species on the cold tolerance of a generalist parasitoid? [PDF]
, 2017 For generalist parasitoids such as those belonging to the Genus Aphidius, the choice of host species can have profound implications for the emerging parasitoid. Host species is known to affect a variety of life history traits.
