Juvenile hormone (JH) absence induces photoperiod-mediated reproductive diapause, which is characterized by reproductive cessation. Although the role of methoprene-tolerant (Met)-mediated JH signaling in photoperiod-m...
Light pollution is a global disturbance with resounding impacts on a wide variety of organisms, but our understanding of these impacts is restricted to relatively few higher vertebrate species. We tested the direct ef...
Phenology shifts and range expansions cause organisms to experience novel day length-temperature correlations.Depending on the temporal niche,organisms may benefit or suffer from changes in day length,thus potentially...
Predatory mites of the Phytoseiidae family are considered one of the most important groups of natural enemies used in biological control.The behavioral patterns of arthropods can differ greatly daily and seasonally;ho...
The effects of environmental parameters on insect development have been studied extensively. But the reasons for 2 differential developmental rates within same cohort under varying environmental factors have not been ...
The yellow peach moth, Conogethes punctiferalis (Guenee), a multivoltine species that overwinters as diapausing larvae, is one of the most serious insect pests on maize in China. Effect of photoperiod and temperatur...
To understand the adaptive strategies of the overwintering adults of Steno- catantops splendens, the mechanism of maintenance and termination of the reproductive diapause, the variation in mortality between overwinter...
