“…The conditions necessary for the production of sexuals are unclear, but it appears that factors other than low temperatures are necessary. Uichanco (1921) concluded that amphigonous reproduction in aphids is an adaptation for survival under adverse conditions, but it is retained at cyclical intervals even when the adverse conditions are removed. 'I'his hypothesis provides a possible answer to the occurrence of sexuals in the greenhouse and during mild winters at the same time conditions are highly favorable to normal parthenogenetic reproduction.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
