Predicting the potential geographical distribution of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, using the CLIMEX model - BioControl [PDF]
Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is a ladybird beetle native to temperate and subtropical parts of Asia. Since 1916 populations of this species have been introduced throughout the world, either deliberately, or by accident ...

Inheritance of diapause induction and intensity in Papilio zelicaon [PDF]
Five generations of mass selection reduced “obligate” diapause, critical photo-period, and diapause intensity in a strain of the anise swallowtail, Papilio zelicaon Lucas. Reciprocal crosses made between the selected line and unselected uni-and multivoltine populations produced hybrids with diapause induction and intensity intermediate to parental ...

Genomic differentiation during speciation-with-gene-flow: Comparing geographic and host-related variation in divergent life history adaptation in rhagoletis pomonella [PDF]
A major goal of evolutionary biology is to understand how variation within populations gets partitioned into differences between reproductively isolated species.

In the field, the blister beetle Mylabris phalerata Pallas (Coleoptera: Meloidae) undergoes larval diapause in the ground, which lasts for nearly six months. The effect of the soil environment on this diapause was examined.

Integrated Management of European Cherry Fruit Fly Rhagoletis cerasi (L.): Situation in Switzerland and Europe [PDF]
: The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a highly destructive pest. The low tolerance for damaged fruit requires preventive insecticide treatments for a marketable crop.

Light and Temperature Synchronizes Locomotor Activity in the Linden Bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus
Circadian clocks are synchronized with the external environment by light and temperature. The effect of these cues on behavior is well-characterized in Drosophila, however, little is known about synchronization in non-model insect species.

Nothobranchius annual killifishes
Annual fishes of the genus Nothobranchius inhabit ephemeral habitats in Eastern and Southeastern Africa. Their life cycle is characterized by very rapid maturation, a posthatch lifespan of a few weeks to months and embryonic diapause to survive the dry ...

The evolutionary ecology of interactive synchronism: The illusion of the optimal phenotype [PDF]
In this article, we discuss some ecological-evolutionary strategies that allow synchronization of organisms, resources, and conditions. Survival and reproduction require synchronization of life cycles of organisms with favourable environmental ...
