All organisms on Earth have evolved biological rhythms to face alternation of periods of
favorable and unfavorable environmental conditions, at various temporal scales. Diapause …

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 …

Phenotypic plasticity is produced and maintained by processes regulating the transcriptome.
While differential gene expression is among the most important of these processes …

Introductions of novel plant species can disturb the historical resource environment of
herbivorous insects, resulting in strong selection to either adopt or exclude the novel host …

Diapause is a common adaptation for overwintering in insects that is characterized by
arrested development and increased tolerance to stress and cold. While the expression of …

Diapause is a deep resting stage facilitating temporal avoidance of unfavourable
environmental conditions, and is used by many insects to adapt their life cycle to seasonal …

Developmental plasticity describes the capacity of individuals with the same genotype to
induce permanent change in a phenotype depending on a specific external input. One well …

An important question in evolutionary ecology is to understand the drivers of phenotypic
variation in contrasting environments. Disentangling plasticity from evolutionary responses …

Insects rely on their innate immune system to successfully mediate complex interactions with
their microbiota, as well as the microbes present in the environment. Previous work has …

abstract The genetic components of the circadian clock have been implicated as involved in
photoperiodic regulation of winter diapause across various insect groups, thereby …
