Relationships between body weight of overwintering larvae and supercooling capacity; diapause intensity and post-diapause reproductive potential in Chilo suppressalis Walker
TL;DR: After transfer of overwintering larvae to 15, 20 and 25°C on different dates, smaller individuals pupated slightly faster than larger ones at the same temperature, suggesting that diapause was less intense in smaller overwinters, and post-diapause reproductive potential was determined, to a certain extent, by body weight.

Divergence in larval diapause induction between the rice and water-oat populations of the striped stem borer, Chilo suppressalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
TL;DR: Differences in diapause induction could promote the population divergence in insects associated with different host plants and contribute to the seasonal reproductive isolation of these host plant-associated populations.

A comparison of the larval overwintering biology of the striped stem borer, Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), in rice and water-oat fields
TL;DR: Differences in the overwintering biology of C. suppressalis larvae from rice and water-oat fields may contribute to the differentiation and reproductive isolation between host-plant populations in this species.

Do differences in life-history traits and the timing of peak mating activity between host-associated populations of Chilo suppressalis have a genetic basis?

TL;DR: Although some life‐history traits of host‐associated populations of C. suppressalis are influenced by the host plant larvae are raised on, time of peak mating activity is not, which indicates that the mechanism responsible for host race formation in this species is still unclear.

Functional Traits of Male and Female Leaves of Hippophae tibetana on the Eastern Edge of the Tibetan Plateau and Their Altitudinal Variability
TL;DR: In this paper , the adaptation of leaf functional traits to elevation in these dioecious plants were analyzed and the results showed that there is no “midday depression” of photosynthetic activity in either male or female plants.
