Control of summer and winter diapause in the leaf-mining fly Pegomyia bicolor Wiedemann (Dipt., Anthomyiidae)
Journal of Applied Entomology - Zeitschrift für angewandte Entomologie 125 (4), 181-187
Abstract: Effects of photoperiod and temperature on diapause induction and termination were investigated in both aestival and hibernal pupae of Pegomyia bicolor Wiedemann under field and laboratory conditions. In the field, summer diapause had occurred already in part of the first pupal population; the proportion of diapause gradually rose as the day length and temperature increased. This fly is a short-day species with a pupal summer and winter diapause. Summer diapause was induced by both long day-lengths and mild temperatures. The whole larval life is sensitive to photoperiod. Winter diapause was induced mainly by low temperatures, especially in the first 10 days after pupation. High temperatures strongly enhanced summer diapause induction regardless of photoperiod. The diapause-averting influence of short photoperiods was fully expressed only at moderately low temperatures. High temperatures delayed diapause development, resulting in a rather long summer diapause; whereas low temperatures hastened it, leading to a short winter diapause and showing a low thermal threshold for diapause development. In the field, the post-diapause development started in January, the coldest month, suggesting that the thermal requirements for post-diapause development is also low.
