accumulation window hypothesis:
• Development rate
increases faster with
temperature than growth rate
• Lipid production
integrates temporally variable
food and temperature history
• An additional
cue acting prior to stage CV
may be required
• Mortality also
influences probability of reaching
CV stage
Individuals
can only enter dormancy if their food and temperature history
allows them to accumulate sufficient lipid
