The rapid rate of current global climate change is having strong effects on many species
and, at least in some cases, is driving evolution, particularly when changes in conditions …

Forecasts of species range shifts as a result of climate change are essential, because
invasions by exotic species shape biodiversity and therefore ecosystem functions and …

In this article, we explore links between circadian clocks and the clock involved in
photoperiodic regulation of diapause in insects. Classical resonance (Nanda–Hamner) and …

Seasonal change in daylength (photoperiod) is widely used by insects to regulate temporal
patterns of development and behaviour, including the timing of diapause (dormancy) and …

Functional involvement of a circadian clock in photoperiodism for measuring the length of
day or night had been proposed more than 70 years ago, and various physiological …

Wyeomyia smithii, the pitcher-plant mosquito, has evolved from south to north and from low
to high elevations in eastern North America. Along this seasonal gradient, critical …

Unlike many insects where photoperiod per se induces diapause, reproductive arrest in
Drosophila melanogaster adult females is observed at colder temperatures and can be …

Activity rhythms in 24 h light-dark cycles, constant darkness, and constant light conditions
were analyzed in four different Nasonia species for each sex separately. Besides …

This review starts by comparing photoperiodic diapause with non-photoperiodic quiescence
in four representative species, paying particular attention to overwintering in Drosophila …

Coextinction (loss of dependent species with their host or partner species) presents a threat
to untold numbers of organisms. Climate change may act synergistically to accelerate rates …
