overwintering

Examples of overwinter

overwinter
Temperature seems to be a major factor which affects the overwintering strategy the aphid follows in different regions.
Nevertheless, the role of the primary host in the distribution of genotypes that invest in different overwintering strategies has not been studied adequately.
Although oviposition height could be a crucial factor for the fitness of overwintering eggs, it has rarely been investigated.
Alternatively, this behaviour may have been selected as a mechanism to increase overwintering survival.
In their second year of development, most third instars overwintered in the subsoil (> 250 mm).
In the same area, the offspring generation of overwintering females was collected as eggs and firstinstar larvae within 12 breeding sites.
However, each of these species can also be grown as a shortseason cover crop or, if climate allows, as an overwintering cover crop.
At least in 1998, the exit of butterflies from overwintering sites was relatively sudden and coincided with the first spring rainfall event.
Most of the 105 clones, which were collected in both years, overwintered on winter hosts.
In many cases, cold hardiness ensures successful diapause during overwintering, thereby enabling the insect to survive the cold winter months.
The prolonged arrested development during diapause may reduce the flight capacity of the overwintering generation.
Males are supposed to die before the overwintering period, and are not present in overwintering sites.
The removal of semi-natural habitats due to the intensification of agricultural practice can lead to a reduction in overwintering sites.
They observed distinctly higher abundances of overwintering adult staphylinids compared to carabids, similar to the present investigation.
The results also suggest the parasitoid has no mechanism of overwintering outside its hosts.
