Although numerous studies have indicated that diapause is heritable and phenotypically plastic, none of them has examined the quantitative genetic basis of this plasticity. In this paper we report such an analysis for egg diapause in the cricket Allonemobius socius, the induction of which appears to
The cricket, Gryllus rubens (Orthoptera, Gryllidae), exists in natural populations as either a fully-winged (LW), flight-capable morph or as a short-winged (SW) morph that cannot fly. The SW morph is substantially more fecund than the LW morph. In this study we report on the physiological basis of t
