“…Moreover, winter diapause induced by low temperature is also reported in some short-day species, e.g. the leaf-mining fly Pegomyia bicolor (Xue et al, 2001) and cabbage beetle Colaphellus bowringi (Xue et al, 2002). In the present experiments, 46.1% of the adults entered diapause at 12°C, 12L : 12D (Fig.…”

“…In some aestivating insect, temperature is the primary diapause-inducing factor (cue) for summer dormancy (Tauber et al, 1986;Xue et al, 2002;Liu et al, 2006). In other species, temperature regulates the photoperiodic induction of summer diapause and in most cases high temperature favours the induction of summer diapause (Masaki, 1980); e.g.…”

“…In the Chrysomelidae, there are three species in which the induction of reproductive diapause occurs mainly in the adult stage and another three species in which it occurs in both the adult and larval stages (Danks, 1987;Xue et al, 2002), however, the role of other stages in the induction of diapause is not totally excluded. Identification of the sensitive stages requires a suitable bioassay for measuring sensitivity to diapause-inducting factors (Tauber et al, 1986), e.g.…”

“…Many species can detect the onset of harsh conditions and enter diapause by responding to more than one environmental stimulus (Tauber et al, 1986;Danks, 1987). For most short day-length species in the temperate zone, summer diapause is induced by long day-length and high temperature, whereas winter diapause is often controlled by low temperature (Tauber et al, 1986;Danks, 1987;Xue et al, 2001Xue et al, , 2002Wang et al, 2004).…”

Abstract. The brassica leaf beetle, Phaedon brassicae Baly (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), one of the pests infesting cruciferous vegetables in China and Japan, is a multivoltine species that oversummers and overwinters as an adult. The effects of both temperature and photoperiod on reproductive diapause induction were systematically investigated in this beetle. Under 16L : 8D, most of the beetles entered reproductive diapause at 12-30°C, indicating that photoperiod played a crucial role in estivation diapause induction. Under 12L : 12D, all adults developed without diapause at 28 and 30°C; less than 25% of the individuals entered reproductive diapause at 16-24°C; however, 46.1% of the individuals entered diapause at 12°C, suggesting that low temperature also had a relatively important influence on the determination of diapause. The photoperiodic response curves indicate that this species is a typical short-day species. The critical day-lengths at 20, 24 and 28°C were 13.2, 13.6 and 13.8 h, respectively. Transferring them from 16L : 8D to 12L : 12D or vice versa at different ages and/or stages during their development revealed that the photoperiod experienced by adults during the first 11 days might be important for diapause determination, even though an effect of photoperiod on the larval and pupal stages can not be excluded. Transferring individuals kept at a photoperiod of 12L : 12D from 25°C to 12°C or vice versa at different ages and/or stages during their development revealed that the temperature cue for diapause is mainly perceived by the late instar larvae and pupae.

“…Temperature-controlled diapause is also reported by Shintani & Ishikawa (1997) in Psacothea hilaris and by Ishihara & Shimada (1995) in Kytorhinus sharpianus. Xue mentioned that diapause in Colaphellus bowringi is induced principally by low temperature and less so by photoperiod (Xue et al, 2002). The same response is seen in Endopiza viteana (Tobin et al, 2002).…”

Abstract. In the field, the blister beetle Mylabris phalerata Pallas (Coleoptera: Meloidae) undergoes larval diapause in the ground, which lasts for nearly six months. The effect of the soil environment on this diapause was examined. Final instar larvae kept at temperatures of 26°C do not enter diapause and continued to develop regardless of the soil water content and photoperiod. Below 25°C the final instar larvae entered diapause regardless of soil water content and photoperiod. The early stages, particularly L2, appeared to be more important for diapause induction than the later stages. However, the other instars were also sensitive. Temperature, rather then photoperiod was the main factor influencing pupal duration.

Expression of alternative developmental pathways in the cabbage butterfly, Pieris melete and their differences in life history traits

The seasonal life cycle of the cabbage butterfly, Pieris melete is complicated because there are three options for pupal development: summer diapause, winter diapause, and nondiapause. In the present study, we tested the influence of temperature, day length, and seasonality on the expression of alternative developmental pathways and compared the differences in life history traits between diapausing and directly developing individuals under laboratory and field conditions. The expression of developmental pathway strongly depended on temperature, day length, and seasonality. Low temperatures induced almost all individuals to enter diapause regardless of day length; relatively high temperatures combined with intermediate and longer day lengths resulted in most individuals developing without diapause in the laboratory. The field data revealed that the degree of phenotypic plasticity in relation to developmental pathway was much higher in autumn than in spring. Directly developing individuals showed shorter development times and higher growth rates than did diapausing individuals. The pupal and adult weights for both diapausing and directly developing individuals gradually decreased as rearing temperature increased, with the diapausing individuals being slightly heavier than the directly developing individuals at each temperature. Female body weight was slightly lower than male body weight. The proportional weight losses from pupa to adult were almost the same in diapausing individuals and in directly developing individuals, suggesting that diapause did not affect weight loss at metamorphosis. Our results highlight the importance of the expression of alternative developmental pathways, which not only synchronizes this butterfly's development and reproduction with the growth seasons of the host plants but also exhibits the bet‐hedging tactic against unpredictable risks due to a dynamic environment.
