overwinter
He brings his bedding plants indoors for overwintering.
Sow plants now for overwintering.
Ivy does provide a very useful overwintering site for many small mammals and insects.

Examples of overwintering

overwintering
Bees during the overwintering period were exposed to different temperatures in different seasons because only one cold chamber was available.
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.
Experimental consideration of some important factors to larval overwintering.
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.
Periodic growth ensures that plants reach safe overwintering stages, and do not risk the loss of tender new tissues to frost.
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.
However, our data indicated that this characterization might only be true for the overwintering generation because the succeeding generations explore the whole tree canopy.
The bud may be part of the stem of an overwintering structure such as a bulb or tuber.
Following the oviposition period, cages containing several thousand overwintering eggs of each population were placed in a field insectary.
At least in 1998, the exit of butterflies from overwintering sites was relatively sudden and coincided with the first spring rainfall event.
The relative frequencies of the genotypes that invest in different overwintering strategies are highly correlated with the abundance of the primary host.
The prolonged arrested development during diapause may reduce the flight capacity of the overwintering generation.
