Managing metabolic resources is critical for insects during diapause when food sources are
limited or unavailable. Insects accumulate reserves prior to diapause, and metabolic …

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 …

Insects often overcome unfavorable seasons in a hormonally regulated state of diapause
during which their activity ceases, development is arrested, metabolic rate is suppressed …

Diapause is a widespread adaptation to seasonality across invertebrate taxa. It is critical for
persistence in seasonal environments, synchronizing life histories with favorable, resource …

Seasonal environments present fundamental physiological challenges to a wide range of
insects. Many temperate insects surmount the exigencies of winter by undergoing …

The daily rhythm of 24 h and the annual rhythm of 12 mo constitute the 2 major, highly
predictable rhythms of the biosphere. The internal circadian clock enables organisms to …

The photoperiodic calendar is a seasonal time measurement system which allows insects to
cope with annual cycles of environmental conditions. Seasonal timing of entry into diapause …

The timing of dormancy is a rapidly evolving life-history trait playing a crucial role in the
synchronization of seasonal life cycles and adaptation to environmental change. But the …

Background Many temperate insects survive the harsh conditions of winter by undergoing
photoperiodic diapause, a pre-programmed developmental arrest initiated by short day …

The fat body is responsible for a variety of functions related to energy metabolism in
arthropods, by controlling the processes of de novo glucose production (gluconeogenesis) …
