The lost generation hypothesis: could climate change drive ectotherms into a developmental trap?
Climate warming affects the rate and timing of the development in ectothermic organisms.

Urbanization extends flight phenology and leads to local adaptation of seasonal plasticity in Lepidoptera
Urbanization is gaining force globally, which challenges biodiversity, and it has recently also
emerged as an agent of evolutionary change. Seasonal phenology and life cycle regulation …

Longer and warmer prewinter periods reduce post‐winter fitness in a diapausing insect
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: delaying the developmental clock in response to a changing environment
L Schiesari, MB O'Connor - Current Topics in Developmental Biology, 2013 - Elsevier
Seasonal changes can induce organisms to modify their developmental growth. Many

Developmental trap or demographic bonanza? Opposing consequences of earlier phenology in a changing climate for a multivoltine butterfly
A rapidly changing climate has the potential to interfere with the timing of environmental
cues that ectothermic organisms rely on to initiate and regulate life history events. Short …

Microclimatic variation affects developmental phenology, synchrony and voltinism in an insect population
Temperature influences the rate of most biological processes. Nonlinearities in the thermal
reaction norms of such processes complicate intuitive predictions of how ectothermic …

Genetic variation underlying local adaptation of diapause induction along a cline in a butterfly
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 …

Timing of diapause termination in relation to variation in winter climate
In temperate insects, winters are typically endured by entering diapause, which comprises a
deep resting stage. Correct timing of diapause termination is vital for synchronization of …

Variation in butterfly diapause duration in relation to voltinism suggests adaptation to autumn warmth, not winter cold
O Lindestad, L von Schmalensee… - Functional …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
