“…Nevertheless, the heritability estimate under long-day conditions was lower than previously reported heritabilities (Istock et al 1976;Palmer and Dingle 1986;Roff 1990;Bradshaw et al 1997;Miyatake and Yamagishi 1999;Wipking and Kurtz 2000;Blanckenhorn 2002;Sgro and Blows 2003). This value is substantially low, considering that heritability is further lowered in natural conditions by the enlargement of environmental variances (Roff 1997;pp.…”

In a theoretical framework, the development time of arthropods is closely associated with population growth, so that strong selection pressure may be imposed on development patterns. In this context, selection towards shorter development times may act on female mites in the season when population size is growing. In contrast, such selective pressure may be weaker just before hibernation, because the stage adjustment may be more important than population growth in such seasons. Thus, selection to shorten development times may act more strongly in long daylength conditions, so that different developmental responses among the seasons (reaction norm) may evolve. I predicted that the development time is shorter under the long-day conditions of population-growing seasons than under the short-day conditions of hibernating seasons, and that genetic variation at the long-day is smaller than that at the short-day. In order to test this prediction, the egg-to-adult development time of a population of Tetranychus kanzawai (Acari: Tetranychidae) was investigated under short (9L:15D) and long (15L:9D) daylength conditions at 18 degrees C. In addition, genetic variation in female development times under these conditions was estimated by using half-sib design. The development time of females at short day was 1 day longer than at long day under the experimental conditions. Male development times follow the pattern of females with <1 day delay. However, heritabilities under these two treatments were quite low and neither was significant. Thus, only the first prediction was supported by the results. In addition, maternal and/or non-additive effects in the female development time were highly significant under both daylength conditions examined.

“…There was also considerable variation between southern females in the propensity of their offspring to develop directly, indicating a potential for further adaptive responses, including those expected under the ongoing climate change. This study thus provides additional evidence of genetic latitudinal differences in relation to voltinism and diapause induction (Wipking & Kurtz, 2000;Denlinger, 2002;Gomi et al, 2004;Demont & Blanckenhorn, 2008) and widens the taxonomic range of species studied in this context. The latitudinal difference found in the weight of diapausing juvenile larvae is consistent with the adaptationistic expectation of countergradient variation in growth rates in high latitude populations (Ayres & Scriber, 1994;Gotthard et al, 1994;Arendt, 1997;Arnett & Gotelli, 1999).…”

“…when the season length may occassionally but not always facilitate successful development of the nondiapausing generation (Roff, 1980;Hopper, 1999). It is typical (Tauber et al, 1986) although not universal (Wipking, 1988;Wipking & Kurtz, 2000) among Lepidoptera that only one developmental stage is adapted to hibernation, so the need to reach the appropriate developmental stage before the onset of the winter may well create selective pressures in favour of a diversified bet-hedging strategy. The adults of the second generation of E. depressum fly in September and October in central Europe (Lepidopterologen Arbeitsgruppe, 2000), and larvae of this second generation might have enough time to prepare for overwintering in optimal environmental conditions.…”

Separating genetic and environmental causes of the latitudinal differences among populations is crucial when evaluating the potential for microevolutionary responses to the changing environment. We studied among‐population and environmental components of variation in several life‐history traits of a lichen‐feeding moth Eilema depressum when offspring of replicate Swiss and Finnish females were reared in a common‐garden factorial experiment. A partial second generation was produced only among Swiss larvae, more likely so at higher temperature regime and higher host quality, and more frequently among the offspring of particular females. Growth rates of larvae that chose the diapause development were higher in northern individuals. Our results thus reveal adaptive differences between latitudinal populations in studied life‐history traits, allowing to expect rapid adaptation of the species to further environmental changes. In contrast, invariable responses of the growth rates of the larvae to temperature and host quality support the idea that some basic parameters of insect growth show a high degree of evolutionary conservatism.

“…Patterns of inheritance consistent with polygenic systems have been reported in the majority of species that have been investigated, and diapause characteristics of hybrids often are intermediate between those of the parents (Danks 1987). Single reciprocal crosses between the selected strain and a high-diapause strain in the cabbage beetle showed that the hybrids had an intermediate response, similar to many other insect species (Simis 1983; Wipking and Kurtz 2000; Tan et al 2008), indicating that diapause induction was influenced by both parents in this species. These results are in accord with those of previous studies obtained by crossing different geographic and laboratory strains with different diapause responses (Yang et al 2007; Lai et al 2008).…”

The cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi Baly (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a serious pest of crucifers in China, undergoes summer or winter diapause in the soil as an adult. In the present study, the incidence of diapause were measured in reciprocal crosses between a high—diapause strain (HD strain) and a laboratory—selected nondiapausing strain (ND strain) under different photoperiods and temperatures, to explore parental influences on the progeny diapause. Sensitivity to photoperiod in the selected nondiapausing strain was nearly eliminated at 25 °C, whereas sensitivity to temperature of the selected nondiapausing strain was retained under continuous darkness at 20 and 22 °C. Reciprocal crosses between the HD strain and the ND strain showed that the incidence of diapause in the progeny was always intermediate to that of the parents under different photoperiods and temperatures, suggesting that diapause induction was determined by both female and male parents. There was a significant effect of temperature; temperature interacted with reciprocal cross on diapause induction, whereas no significant effect of reciprocal cross was demonstrated. The incidence of diapause in ♀ND × ♂HD was the same as in ♀HD × ♂ND under continuous darkness at 18 °C (100%) and 26 °C (0%), but the former was higher than that in ♀HD × ♂ND under continuous darkness at 22 °C, suggesting that female parent does not exhibit strong influence on the diapause response to temperature. There was a significant effect of photoperiod and reciprocal cross on diapause induction, whereas no significant interactive effect on diapause induction was demonstrated. Incidence of diapause in ♀HD × ♂ND was always higher than in ♀ND × ♂HD at 25 °C and 12:12 L:D, 14:10 L:D, and 16:8 L:D, suggesting a strong maternal influence on the diapause response to photoperiod, though a significant difference was observed only at 14:10 L:D. Our results support the idea that diapause induction is determined by both female and male parents. However, results also indicated that a strong maternal influence on diapause was exhibited only in response to photoperiod.
