A study was made of the life cycle and reproductive ecology of Gammarus duebeni in the Test Estuary on the south coast of England. The species is towards the southern limit of its distributional range in the north-east Atlantic, which results in breeding continuing throughout much of the year. The breeding strategy employed was found to vary with season. The size of eggs produced and the rate of egg production were both temperature dependent, whereas the proportion of production expended on eggs and the number of eggs per brood, although probably influenced by temperature appeared to be controlled by food availability and female size. Factors affecting the mortality of eggs within the marsupium and breeding synchrony were considered in relation to season. The life cycle consisted of two major overlapping generations.

AbstractThe effect of daily day-degrees C in relation to brood age was investigated to determine its influence on the induction of larval (prepupal) diapause in Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby). Daily day-degrees of less than about 9° above the development threshold (6.1°C) induced diapause in most of the broods while diapause was averted by daily day-degrees C of 10 or more above the threshold. Induction of diapause occurred no later than third larval instar; temperature changes during the fourth instar produced no change in aversion or induction of diapause. Laboratory results reveal that field temperatures during larval development determine whether most beetles have a 1- or 2-year life cycle.
