“…Instances of JH or corpora allata control, partial or complete, over male sexual behaviour have been reported in grasshoppers (Loher & Huber, 1964;Odhiambo, 1966;Wajc & Pener, 1971;Pener & Broza, 1971), crickets (Blondheim & Broza, 1970), carabid beetles (Ferenz & Holters, 1975), dung flies (Foster, 1967) and rabbit flea (Rothschildetal., 1970). In the latter two instances, mating behaviour was diet-dependent.…”

When adults of the large milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus (Dallas) were starved or fed non-host seeds, their mating activity during the 30 days following emergence was reduced by c. 50%. Topical applications of a juvenoid t o adults fed non-host seeds usually increased mating activity, sometimes to near the level of milkweed-fed controls. An optimal juvenoid dose applied to adults reared and fed on sunflower seeds increased mating activity by only 9% to 28% from that of controls reared and fed on milkweed. Rearing and maintenance of the sexes on separate diets before pairing indicated that both the juvenoidrestored and non-restored milkweed stimulatory effects on mating probably acted exclusively on the males. Topical application of the anti-allatotropic agent precocene I1 to milkweed-fed males reduced mating activity by 75%. Simultaneous juvenoid treatment prevented most, but not all, of the precocene I1 effect. Juvenoid treatment completely prevented the depressed mating activity under short days. Rearing and maintenance of the sexes under different photoperiods before pairing under short days showed that photoperiod acted solely on the males. It is postulated that JH and one or more photosensitive and dietsensitive factors in males regulatemating activity, JH being stimulatory but nonessential. A partial dietary control over mating may optimize male activity according to the population density and female reproductive activity.

The respiratory rates of diapausing adults as compared to their non-diapausing counter¬ parts have been shown to be much reduced (Slama, 1964 (Blondheim and Broza, 1970;Zdarek, 1970), migratory behavior may occur (Nuorteva, 1966;Brown and Chippendale, 197*0 as well as changes in the feeding behavior.…”

“…Several excellent discussions of diapause have been presented and the reader is referred to these for a more complete consideration of diapause in insects (Andrewartha, 1952;Lees, 1955;decide, 1962;Danilevskii, 1965;Beck, 1968;Mansingh, 1971)• Diapause has been characterized as an endocrine deficiency syndrome (deWilde, 1962) -which in adults is manifested by physiological changes such as lack of reproductive development and reduced respiratory rates (Lees, 1956;Slama, 1964;Calabrese and Stoffolano, 1974b). In addition behavioral changes may occur in mating activity (Blondheim and Broza, 1970;Zdarek, 1970) and flight activity (Nuorteva, 1966;Bro-wn, et al, 1974). Accompanying these various behavioral changes associated with diapause is the observation that many insects show changes in their feeding behavior.…”
