The Effects of Sub-Zero Temperatures on The Embryonic Diapause of Acheta Commodus (Walk.) (Orthoptera)

Abstract

The effects of temperature on the termination of diapause in eggs of Acheta commodu8 were investigated over the range of -16· 5 to + 12· SoC; the effects on the entry into diapause were also measured by exposing pre-diapause eggs to temperatures of -10·0 to +12·SoC.
