Summary The Dual System Theory of photoperiodic determination was found to be consistent with experimental data on diapause induction in response to skeleton photoperiods. Symmetrical and asymmetrical skeleton photoperiods of both diel and nondiel durations were investigated. The theoretical model was shown to predict accurately the incidence of diapause among larvae of the European corn borer,Ostrinia nubilalis, that had been reared under the different photoperiodic regimes.
