Insects as small ectotherms are known to live in a wide range of thermal climates and have to adopt different strategies to resist unfavorable conditions such as: migration, enter in diapause or remain active. Throughout this Thesis, different ecological drivers have been explored in aphid parasitoids along a latitudinal gradient in the central‒south valley of Chile. We tested whether environmental conditions along this gradient led to a higher diapause incidence on high latitudes (colder) compared to low latitudes (warmer). In addition, we explored whether diapause is regulated by biotic stimulus (i.e., host effect, host availability, and maternal competition). We found an absence of a clear north-south latitudinal temperature gradient. Ba...
