Modelling the combined effects of photoperiod and temperature on diapause induction in Apolygus lucorum (Meyer-Dür) across different latitudes.

Diapause incidence in A. lucorum was influenced nonlinearly by temperature and photoperiod across different latitudes. The model established in this study is valid for predicting diapause incidence in this pest over a wide area in northern China, and thus can be incorporated into an areawide population dynamic model of this pest. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
