Diapause in Populations of Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) from the Tropical Climate Zone: Morphological, Behavioral, and Metabolomic Characterization
Diapause is a pre-programmed adaptive strategy that enables many arthropods to survive unfavorable conditions and is well documented in Tetranychus urticae from temperate regions. However, phenotypes resembling diapause have recently been reported in tropical regions of Brazil, where the classical environmental cues as...
