Extract

Many cone and seed insects exhibit a dormancy in which the individuals may undergo a diapause that lasts 1, 2, or more winters and the proportion of 1-year diapause (1YD) and 2-year diapause (2YD) varies from year to year (Hedlin et al. 1980). Thus, segregating the two diapause types carries a practical importance for forecasting the attacking adult population in a given year. Based primarily on teleological reasoning it has been argued that insects committed to a longer dormancy may have higher weights with metabolites to sustain survival for a longer period. Individual weights have been examined with the hope of separating 1YD from 2YD individuals.
