Conditions in nature change with the seasons, necessitating seasonal adaptations that
synchronize the life cycles of organisms with their surroundings. Such regulatory …

Seasonal phenotypic plasticity entails differential trait expression depending on the time of
season. The facultative induction of winter diapause in temperate insects is a developmental …

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 …

Many insects exhibit geographical variation in voltinism, the number of generations
produced per year. This includes high‐latitude species in previously glaciated areas …

Many insects exhibit geographic variation in voltinism, the number of generations produced
per year. This includes high-latitude species in previously glaciated areas, implying …

Many species have evolved strategies to overcome seasonal fluctuations in resources. That
includes winter diapause that is a type of hibernation found in a wide variety of insects in the …

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 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 …

The conditional expression of alternative life strategies is a widespread feature of animal life
and a pivotal adaptation to life in seasonal environments. To optimally match suites of traits …

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 …
