is of special value to insect species as it provides rhythmic synchronization of the life cycle with that of favorable environmental conditions. Diapause is characterized by a significant reduction in respiratory rate, decrease in the water content, presence...
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)
