Winter temperature predicts prolonged diapause in pine processionary moth species across their geographic range [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Prolonged diapause occurs in a number of insects and is interpreted as a way to evade adverse conditions. The winter pine processionary moths (Thaumetopoea pityocampa and Th. wilkinsoni) are important pests of pines and cedars in the Mediterranean region.

Description of Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae) pupal developmental stages: indications of prolonged diapause. [PDF]
J Insect Sci, 2014 The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the key pest of sweet and sour cherries in many European countries and west Asia. It is a univoltine species of the west Palaearctic zone that undergoes obligatory pupal diapause. In this study, the development of R. cerasi pupae that were brought to an optimum temperature

Characterization and Expression of Two Cytoplasmic Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Genes Associated with Larval Diapause and Temperature Stress in the Wheat Blossom Midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana [PDF]
BiologyPhosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), a key gluconeogenic enzyme, is associated with adaptation to environmental stress. However, its potential role in diapause is not known.

Adaptive significance of the prolonged diapause in the western Mediterranean lycaenid butterfly Tomares ballus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2017 Diapause is a common dormancy strategy exhibited by many species of invertebrates and insects to temporarily avoid seasonally recurring unfavourable conditions for their development, most usually in winter.

The persistence of simple host-parasitoid systems with prolonged diapause
Ecología Austral, 2000 Many univoltine insect populations can spread adult emergence in time through a phenomena known as prolonged diapause. With the exception of a few works, the dynamic consequences of prolonged diapause in coupled host parasitoid populations remains an ...

Characterization of Two Novel Heat Shock Protein 70 Transcripts from Sitodiplosis mosellana and Their Response to Larval Diapause and Thermal Stress [PDF]
BiologyThe heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family mediates responses to environmental stress in insects. The wheat midge Sitodiplosis mosellana, a worldwide pest, avoids summer and winter temperature extremes by diapause of the third-instar larvae in the soil. To

Characterization and Functional Analysis of Small Heat Shock Protein Genes (Hsp22.2 and Hsp26.7) in Sitodiplosis mosellana Diapause [PDF]
InsectsSmall heat shock proteins (sHsps) play crucial roles in organismal adaptation to stress tolerance. Sitodiplosis mosellana, a devastating insect wheat pest, undergoes long obligatory larval diapause to survive temperature extremes during summer and winter.

Predation Risk Effects of Harmonia axyridis on the Development and Fecundity of Periphyllus koelreuteriae [PDF]
InsectsIn the scenario that requires the biological control of pests using predatory enemies, predators not only prey on pests directly but also can affect the population fitness of pests through indirect non-consumptive effects (predation risk effects ...

A multi‐year dormancy strategy in a cabbage beetle population in southeastern China
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The life cycle of the cabbage beetle Colaphellus bowringi in southeastern China is complex due to four options for adult development: summer diapause, winter diapause, prolonged diapsuse, and nondiapause.
