Compared to those of their parents, are the traits of first-generation (F1) hybrids typically
intermediate, biased toward one parent, or mismatched for alternative parental phenotypes …

Highlights•Populations of pest insects can vary in voltinism and sexual communication
traits.•Clinal differences in circadian rhythm alleles impact local voltinism traits.•Male sexual …

Diapause is a life history strategy allowing individuals to arrest development until favourable
conditions return, and it is commonly induced by shortened day length that is latitude …

Organisms living in seasonally variable environments utilize cues such as light and
temperature to induce plastic responses, enabling them to exploit favorable seasons and …

The life cycles of animals vary in relation to local climate, as a result of both direct
environmental effects and population‐level variation in plastic responses. Insects often …

Diapause, a period of arrested development that allows mosquitoes to survive inhospitable
conditions, is triggered by short daylengths in temperate mosquitoes. Different populations …

Many temperate insects take advantage of longer growing seasons at lower latitudes by
increasing their generation number or voltinism. In some insects, development time abruptly …

Abstract The European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) is an agricultural pest and burgeoning
model for research on speciation, seasonal adaptation and insect resistance management …

Diapause is a complex and dynamic process. Chilo suppressalis, an important rice pest in
Asia enters facultative diapause as larvae. Our results demonstrated in Yangzhou, China …

Understanding cues for diapause termination in insects can be valuable in predicting
phenological events in their lifecycles. Once identified, such cues can be utilized as a biofix …
