Crop pests and pathogens (CPPs) present a growing threat to food security and ecosystem
management. The interactions between plants and their natural enemies are influenced by …

Our highly seasonal world restricts insect activity to brief portions of the year. This feature
necessitates a sophisticated interpretation of seasonal changes and enactment of …

Many insects enter a state of dormancy (diapause) during winter in which they lower their
metabolism to save energy. Metabolic suppression is a hallmark of diapause, yet we know …

Fungicides are the most sold pesticide group, with an 8% increase in sales in Europe within
the last decade. While adverse short-term fungicide effects on non-target insect species …

During winter insects face energetic stress driven by lack of food, and thermal stress due to
sub-optimal and even lethal temperatures. To survive, most insects living in seasonal …

Many temperate insects, such as the Colorado potato beetle, enter diapause in winter,
during which they arrest their development, suppress their metabolic rate and have high …

Many organisms use photoperiodic cues to assess seasonal progression and pace their
phenology. As photoperiod correlates with latitude, range expansions in seasonal …

Although insect herbivores are known to evolve resistance to insecticides through multiple
genetic mechanisms, resistance in individual species has been assumed to follow the same …

Photoperiodic phenological adaptations are prevalent in many organisms living in seasonal
environments. As both photoperiod and growth season length change with latitude, species …

BACKGROUND Diapause is an environmentally preprogrammed period of arrested
development that is important to insect survival and population growth. Histone acetylation …
