Abstract
IN several insects it is known that environmental factors such as nutrition and temperature, or intrinsic factors such as age, can induce diapause in the progeny by affecting the maternal generation1–5. This communication produces evidence that the production of diapause larvae by the parasitic wasp Nasonia vitripennis is controlled by a maternally-operating photoperiod.
