Summary

The survival of diapausing pupae of Mamestra configurata that were cold-stressed (but not frozen) by exposure to -14.5 deg C for 3 days could be altered by post-stress temperatures. Pupae held at 0 deg C following cold stress had low survival, but those exposed even briefly (1-24 hours) to 20 deg C before holding them at 0 deg C had high survival. This "rescue" at 20 deg C could be repeated after a second exposure to cold stress (at -14.9 or -13.5 deg C) by again placing the pupae immediately at 20 deg C.
