Résumé
Spruce budworm larvae, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), in early-, mid- and late-diapause (maintained at 2 degrees C), were exposed to various sub-zero temperatures, above the supercooling point, for different periods to determine the insect's cold-hardiness in terms of non-freeze survival. Larvae which were in the middle of diapause showed the highest survival (percentage of larvae emerging from hibernacula after diapause), followed by larvae in late- and early-diapause respectively. When exposed to -23 degrees C, larvae which were acclimatized to outside air temperatures had a much higher survival than the larvae maintained at 2 degrees C. This survival was correlated with a glycerol content that was ten times higher and a depressed supercooling point in acclimatized larvae compared to lab-maintained larvae. Experiments also demonstrated that mortality of the larvae maintained in an extended supercooled state at -23 degrees C was due to cold injury rather than freezing. The present study supports the hypothesis that glycerol may have a cryoprotective role other than depressing the supercooling point in freeze-intolerant insects and highlights the importance of investigating non-freeze mortality during insect diapause.
