Genomic Predictors of Diapause Polymorphism in the Bark Beetle Ips typographus With Implications for Voltinism Potential and Outbreak Dynamics.

Abstract excerpt

Diapause polymorphisms shape insect life cycles, affecting their responses to seasonal environmental fluctuations. In the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus, diapause phenotypes, classified as facultative or obligate, significantly impact voltinism and thus outbreak potential, yet the genetic mechanisms underlying this trait remain incompletely understood. Here, we combined reduced-representation genome-wide...
