Organisms living in temperate and polar environments encounter seasonal fluctuations that entail changes in temperature, resource availability, and biotic interactions. Thus, adaptations for synchronizing the life cycle with essential resources and persisting through unfavorable conditions are critical.

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.The swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon has a brown‐ and green‐coloured morph, with the brown being more common in the diapausing generation. The darker colouration of brown pupae did not confer advantages for thermoregulation when developing, but they did have lower diapause metabolic rates.

Multi‐year occupancy and habitat use in a threatened butterfly reintroduced onto a restored peatland
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Over half of insect species reintroductions are unsuccessful, frequently because of insufficient habitat resources and a knowledge‐gap regarding the target species habitat requirements. Multi‐season occupancy models, seldom used with invertebrates, offer the opportunity to disentangle the effects of habitat suitability and ...

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2134-2157, October 2026.ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

We Are Dying to Eat You: Cannibalism and Disease Transmission Under Global Climate Change
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), a devastating agricultural pest that can be infected by a lethal virus, readily cannibalize conspecifics. The armyworm in the photo has just consumed a smaller conspecific—note the head capsule of the victim in its mandibles. Cannibalistic consumption can impact disease transmission.

Oxytocin Induces Embryonic Diapause
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey(Abstracted from Sci Adv 2025;11(10):eadt1763, doi:10.1126/sciadv.adt1763 Embryonic diapause is defined as a paused state in embryonic development before implantation that is reversible.

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) arise in response to stress and play a critical role in therapy resistance and tumor dormancy. These cells can evade conventional treatments and later contribute to cancer relapse by generating progeny through nonmitotic, amitotic mechanisms.
