[Termination of the diapause in the Moroccan locust Dociostaurus maroccanus (Thunberg) (Orthoptera: Acrididae)]
Journal of Orthoptera Research 8, 13-16
Abstract: The embryonic develoment of the Mediterranean or moroccan locust, Dociostaurus maroccanus (Thunberg), extends in natural conditions for 9-10 months. This develoment has now been abreviated for the first time to 3 and 3.5 months at laboratory conditions when diapausing embryos at stage XIV and incubated at 20°C qnd 25°C, were chilled at 10°C for 30 and 60 days respectively. At 30°C the diapause stage is reached with delay and the eggs need 90 days of chilling at 10°C to resume the embryonic develoment.
