...…the preparatory phase is succeeded by a typically long refractive phase and the insects cannot terminate diapause and continue morphological development even if exposed to optimal environmental conditions during this stage (Mansingh 1971; Tauber and Tauber 1976; Denlinger 1986, 2002; Danks 1987)....

...The periods of short duration nocturnal dispersal and diurnal passivity prior to and after dormancy is characterized as the refractory and termination periods respectively (Mansingh 1971; Danks 1987)....

...Either the reproductive organs in L. tristis do not mature until the field return or the beetles are undergoing reproductive diapause (Danks 1987; Mansingh 1971), similar to what is reported during the dormancy in S.rotundus (Wolda and Denlinger 1984)....

...The term quiescence is used in situations with a shorter period and no induction phase and with active feeding throughout the stage (Mansingh 1971; Danks 1987)....

...In classical dormancy, the preparatory phase is succeeded by a typically long refractive phase and the insects cannot terminate diapause and continue morphological development even if exposed to optimal environmental conditions during this stage (Mansingh 1971; Tauber and Tauber 1976; Denlinger 1986, 2002; Danks 1987)....
