Climate refugia, locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate, are
thought to be critical for maintaining biodiversity through the glacial–interglacial climate …

Diapause, a dominant feature in the life history of many mosquito species, offers a
mechanism for bridging unfavorable seasons in both temperate and tropical environments …

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 …

Highlights•Insect diapause is an important model for evolution by natural
selection.•Genomics-enabled methods are now elucidating genetic architecture and …

Chromosomal rearrangement can be an important mechanism driving population
differentiation and incipient speciation. In the mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus …

Life on earth is assumed to have developed in tropical regions that are characterized by
regular 24 hr cycles in irradiance and temperature that remain the same throughout the …

The dormant state of diapause is exploited by numerous mosquito species to survive
seasonal periods of environmental stress. We discuss embryonic, larval and adult …

Covering: up to the end of 2014 The field of chemical ecology was established, in large part,
through collaborative studies between biologists and chemists with common interests in the …

The duration of dormancy regulates seasonal timing in many organisms and may be
modulated by day length and temperature. Though photoperiodic modulation has been well …
