Table 1.
Sample sizes and pathway destinies for larvae of P. napi, A. levana and P. aegeria that were transferred between long day and short day treatments in different instars (left side of table); the models obtained from a logistic regression with pathway [diapause (0), direct (1)] used as response variable and the sex of each larva and the instar of transfer used as predictor variables (right side of table)

Significant differences are highlighted in bold
aSix of 13 males entered diapause whereas only 1 of 18 females entered diapause when transferred to the short day treatment in the ultimate instar
