The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is a paradigmatic photoperiodic species that exhibits a
remarkable annual life cycle, which is tightly coupled to the seasonal changes in day length …

Diapause is a protective mechanism that many organisms deploy to overcome
environmental adversities. Diapause extends lifespan and fertility to enhance the …

The circadian clock and its output pathways play a pivotal role in optimizing daily processes.
To obtain insights into how diverse rhythmic physiology and behaviors are orchestrated, we …

To survive adverse environments, many animals enter a dormant state such as hibernation,
dauer, or diapause. Various Drosophila species undergo adult reproductive diapause in …

In mammals, seasonal opportunities and challenges are anticipated through programmed
changes in physiology and behavior. Appropriate anticipatory timing depends on …

Organisms adapt to unfavorable seasonal conditions to survive. These seasonal
adaptations rely on the correct interpretation of environmental cues such as photoperiod …

Circadian clocks respond to temperature changes over the calendar year, allowing
organisms to adjust their daily biological rhythms to optimize health and fitness. In …

The neuropeptide pigment-dispersing factor (PDF) plays a pivotal role in the circadian clock
of most Ecdysozoa and is additionally involved in the timing of seasonal responses of …

The photoperiodic mechanism distinguishes between long and short days, and the circadian
clock system is involved in this process. Although the necessity of circadian clock genes for …

Insects from high latitudes spend the winter in a state of overwintering diapause, which is
characterized by arrested reproduction, reduced food intake and metabolism, and increased …
