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

Various animals across the tree of life express some form of programmed dormancy (eg
hibernation, diapause) to maximize fitness in highly seasonal environments. The integrated …

Diapause is considered an important adaptation for survival of winter; however, insects often
enter diapause long before its onset. Thus, diapausing insects must also be able to survive …

Diapause, a strategy to endure unfavourable conditions (eg cold winters) is commonly found
in ectothermic organisms and is characterized by an arrest of development and …

The seasonal cycle varies geographically and organisms are under selection to express life
cycles that optimally exploit their spatiotemporal habitats. In insects, this often means …

Diapause is a fundamental component of the life cycle in the majority of insects living in
environments characterized by strong seasonality. The present study addresses poorly …

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

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

Changes in the number of generations per year (voltinism) have been among the most
common phenological responses to climate warming in insects inhabiting seasonal …
