“…Trade-offs directly relevant to life-cycle patterns include diapause or its duration, because of the stored energy needed to survive diapause, versus post-diapause fitness (Ishihara and Shimada, 1995;Kroon and Veenendaal, 1998;Ellers and Alphen, 2002). Size and developmental rate are commonly traded off, because normally individuals cannot grow very large if they develop very quickly (cf.…”

Recent work on selected topics of particular interest for understanding insect life-cycles is reviewed, including habitat patterns, kinds of variation, the spreading of risk and prolonged diapause, trade-offs and developmental plasticity, circannual rhythms, the concept of life cycles as developmental choices, and development or delay as the default response. Seasonal adaptations have a wider range of components than has often been appreciated. Variation in lifecycle traits, including the duration of development and the timing of emergence, can be wide, narrow, or discontinuous. Trade-offs encompass multiple simultaneous traits and are not always structured as might be expected. Diapause, cold hardiness, reproductive pattern, and other traits have evolved many times independently. Such complex interactions can be understood only by examining the detailed features of a species' habitat, because how developmental decisions are made and whether continuous development or delays are programmed reflect the predictability of habitats and the environmental signals they supply. Ecological context is important, not just mechanisms of adaptation. Therefore, although most previous studies have paid more attention to insect response than to habitat, interpreting the seasonal relevance of life-cycle patterns requires measurement and analysis for individual species of habitat characteristics and their variation, on a range of temporal and spatial scales, in much more detail than has been customary.

“…Evidence suggests a trade-off between metabolic costs of diapause and adult components of fitness, e.g. reduced fecundity and body size of adult insects emerging from diapause stages (Kroon and Veenedaal 1998;Matsuo 2006;Perez and Noriega 2013). As a result, the performance of individuals leaving diapause is expected to be related to the quality of the environment where the diapause stage was produced.…”

Facultative diapause should be favoured by natural selection in temporary variable habitats. Diapause patterns are evolutionary constrained because producing diapause is resource demanding, which might have implications for competitive dynamics and competitor coexistence through mechanisms such as the storage effect. Besides these implications, competition intensity might affect the quality of the diapausing stages and the reproductive success of the offspring emerging from them. We experimentally analysed traits involved in diapause in the cyclically parthenogenetic rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus, in relation to the presence of its competitor, the cladoceran Moina micrura. Under competition with Moina, Brachionus produced fewer diapausing eggs, most of which possessed visual attributes indicating a higher quality. These diapausing eggs produced under a competitive environment had a higher hatching success; however, the hatchlings exhibited a lower population growth rate. We propose the existence of trade-offs between traits related to diapause: the number of produced eggs, quality of these eggs and hatchling performance. Our results show that interspecific competition may cause fine-tuned changes in the life cycle patterns of the populations. Furthermore, these changes could affect that abundance and performance of competitors and thereby drive back effects on the competitive output. These diapause-driven feedback mechanisms may have strong implications for the dynamics of the natural communities.

“…However, diapause is generally believed to be costly. Costs of diapause are commonly reflected in lower post-diapause survival and reduced fecundity (Denlinger, 1981;Bradshaw et al, 1998;Han & Bauce, 1998;Kroon & Veendaal, 1998;Ellers & van Alphen, 2002;Williams et al, 2003;Munyiri et al, 2004;Matsuo, 2006;Ito, 2007). The two most likely physiological mechanisms underlying these costs are damage due to diapause-associated stresses, such as desiccation or cold shock, and the depletion of metabolic reserves that could contribute to a decrease in postdiapause fitness (Hahn & Denlinger, 2007).…”

Abstract. The cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi Baly undergoes an imaginal summer and winter diapause in the soil; adult emergence is spread over several months to more than 2 years, with prolonged diapause occurring in certain adults under natural conditions. The relationship between natural duration of diapause and postdiapause reproduction was investigated at 25°C under 12L: 12D photoperiod. The mean body weight of postdiapause adults with the long diapause duration of 21 months was significantly greater than with the shorter diapause duration of 5, 11 and 17 months. The longevity and mean total egg production of the postdiapause adult females with the long diapause duration of 21 months was significantly greater than that of postdiapause females with shorter diapause duration of 5, 11 and 17 months. All results demonstrate that extended diapause is associated with a high level of postdiapause reproductive performance. There is no negative trade off between diapause duration and the post-diapause reproductive traits that we measured in C. bowringi.
