Data from: Conditions to terminate reproductive diapause of a univoltine insect: Ceratapion basicorne (Coleoptera: Apionidae), a biological control agent of yellow starthistle

The data are the number and proportion of female weevils (Ceratapion basicorne) that oviposited after exposure to three different environmental hibernation conditions for three different durations (4, 8 and 11 weeks). The conditions were Greenhouse [ambient temperature and photoperiod], glass door Refrigerator [5°C and ambient photoperiod], and incubator [5°C and 24 h dark]).

Data from: Topical application of synthetic hormones terminated reproductive diapause to facilitate rearing of a univoltine weevil for weed biological control agent

These are results of a series of laboratory experiments to determine if topical application of methoprene and 20-ecdysone can terminate reproductive diapause of the weevil, Ceratapion basicorne, which is a recently permitted biological control agent of yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis).
