“…The life histories of I. typographus and D. rufipennis are strongly influenced by seasonal events and they respond with similar physiological strategies. For example, both species enter diapause to buffer against harsh winter conditions and to synchronize life cycles, a widespread strategy in insects that is described for multiple bark beetle species (Ryan, ; Scott & Berryman, ; Birch, ; Führer & Chen, ; Gehrken, ; Schopf, ; Sieber & Benz, ; Langor & Raske, , b; Schopf, ; Hansen et al ., ; Doležal & Sehnal, ; Lester & Irwin, ; McKee & Aukema, ; Gent et al ., ). In addition, voltinism of both species is influenced by differing diapause strategies.…”
