Description:

While observational studies led to the assumption that water or moisture (W/M) is a prerequisite for diapause development, the experimental research indicates rather the opposite: usually W/M is needed as late as for the post-diapause resumption of morphogenesis. Recent examples for this type of regulation of dormancy are given: Eggs of the tettigoniid Stictophaula armata, eggs of the grasshopper Oedaleus senegalensis, adults of the bruchid Bruchidius atrolineatus, adults of the endomychid Stenotarsus subtilis (= S. rotundus). In the late diapause of the noctuid Busseola fusca and in eggs of the chrysomelid Homichloda barkeri, moisture is assumed to be the diapause terminating cue. Fall in temperature is assumed decisive for termination of pupal diapause in the saturniid Schausiella santarosensis, although the effect of intense rain after a long dry period has not yet been excluded. Effects of intense changes in environmental conditions and of gradual decrease in diapause intensity with time have often been neglected.
