Photoperiodic time measurement and seasonal adaptation of the southwestern corn borer, Diatraea grandiosella Dyar (Lepidoptera : Pyralidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1978)
summarized in symposia held in 1965, 1971, and 1975. Excellent reviews about insect photoperiodism have been published (Andrewartha, 1952; Lees, 1955; 1968; Danilevskii, 1961; Danilevskii et al. 1970; Masaki, 1961; deWilde, 1962; Beck, 1968b; Saunders, 1976...
Environmental regulation of the larval diapause of the southwestern corn borer, Diatraea grandiosella Dyar (Lepidoptera : pyralidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1973)
of abundant deposits of reserve materials, absence of feeding, reduced locomotary activity, and arrest of gonodal development. All these changes lead to a low rate of metabolism (Danilevskii, 1961; Beck, 1968). Although diapause has been extensively studied...
Nutrition and feeding behavior of the southwestern corn borer Diatraea grandiosella Dyar (Lepidoptera : pyralidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
The aim of the study was: 1) to determine the nutritional requirements of the southwestern com borer for proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, minerals and vitamins, 2) to measure the effects of carbohydrates and lipids on the ...
Comparative study of the ultrastructure and metabolism of the fat body of diapausing and nondiapausing larvae of the southwestern corn borer, Diatraea grandiosella Dyar (lepidoptera : pyralidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1976)
"The southwestern corn borer, Diatraea grandiosella (Dyar), is a pyralid moth which enters diapause as a mature larva and is bivoltine under Missouri conditions. The bionomics of the species have been reviewed in several ...
