Regulation of adult diapause in Coccinella septempunctata septempunctata and C. septempunctata brucki from two regions of Japan (a minireview).

摘要

Both subspecies of Coccinella septempunctata found in centralorthern Europe and Hokkaido, Japan, have similar life-cycles: long-day photoperiodic response ensures the induction of winter diapause. In the mild climate of Honshu, Japan, C. s. bruckihas a different life cycle: short-day photoperiodic response leads to the induction of summer diapause while overwintering is quiescence.
