Abstract
"T experiments" demonstrate that the clock controlling termination of larval diapause in Ostrinia nubilalis is an hourglass mechanism that measures 8 hours of darkness. Circadian oscillations are not involved in photoperiodic time measurement in this species.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
