“…The phenomenon of photoperiodism should be mentioned in relation to variations in development since it has already been described for Aedes mosquitoes (Baker 1935;Love and Whelchel 1955). Winter larvae of A. triseriatus Say that are inhibited in their development under natural conditions will pupate normally if the photoperiod is artificially extended.…”

“…Only one case of larval diapause (D.deJ7exa) and pupal diapause (D.aEpina) are known (Basden, 1954;Lumme et al, 1978). In contrast to other insects studied (see for example, Love & Welchel, 1955;Earle & Newsom, 1964), imaginal diapause in Drosophila appears to be determined by environmental conditions in the first few days of adult life, rather than in a preceding pre-adult stage. This feature, in conjunction with the three environmental cues, has resulted in a life history pattern that is extremely flexible and responsive to local and seasonal environmental heterogeneity.…”

1. Seasonal reproductive development was investigated in four obligate fungivorous species, D.phalerata Meigen, D. transversa Fallen, D.cameraria Haliday and D m n f u s a Staeger. 2. Samples of females taken from woodlands over a 2 year period were scored for reproductive status and fat content. 3. Populations of D.phalerata and D.cameraria maintained in an outdoor insectary provided information on developmental time and adult mortality throughout the year. 4. Experiments in controlled environmental chambers gave percentage diapause curves against day length for all four species. .In D.phalerata the influence of temperature and fungus upon diapause behaviour was also investigated. 6. In D.phalerata the optimal strategy for reproductive development can vary from month to month. Maturation of females may be immediate, dependent upon a fungal cue or completely prevented.
