Interclonal variability in the photoperiodic responses of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum and intraclonal differences between wingless viviparous females (=apterae) and winged viviparous females (=alatae) were studied. In 7 clones collected from peas near St.Petersburg the effect of constant diel photoperiods (from 0L : 24D to 24L : 0D at 20°C) on sexual morph determination and dynamics of morph production were recorded. Apterae of 5 clones and apterae and alatae of 2 clones were studied. The mean and age-dependent fecundity of apterae and alatae were compared. The clones studied in detail can be divided in two groups. The first includes clones that produced winged males and had critical photoperiods for female morph determination around 12L : 12D. The second includes clones with critical photoperiods for female morph determination around 17L : 7D; these clones produced wingless males, and one clone produced only oviparae. The intraclonal differences in the photoperiodic limits for ovipara and male production depended on the clone-specific abundance of males. The shapes of the photoperiodic curves for male production also depended on the clone-specific abundance of males. In short-day conditions alatae produced more oviparae and fewer males, and the range of photoperiods that induced ovipara production in alatae was nearly twice as wide as that in apterae. The photoperiodic limits for ovipara and male production differed for apterae and alatae. The fecundity of alatae was lower, although they reproduced for longer and lived longer than apterae. Both apterae and alatae reproduced more intensively over the first 2 weeks. Apterae and alatae began to produce males at the same age. Because of their late onset of larviposition, the reproductive pause that divides female and male production was obscured in alatae. Both apterae and alatae tended to produce initially and finally batches of viviparous offspring, possibly reflecting age-dependent endogenous changes in the hormonal titres in the parents.
