Extract

Requirements for diapause development of larvae of Choristoneura fumiferana have been generally believed to be met by temperatures of 2°C or below for a period ranging from 14 to 20 weeks (see review by Sanders 1991), whereas those favourable for post-diapause development were shown to be above 11°C (Régnière 1990). However, we noticed that a large number of larvae completed diapause after 10 weeks at 18°C without any cold storage. The following experiment was carried out to confirm this result.
