Phenological shifts and increases in voltinism within a moth community over a century of anthropogenic change. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract In temperate ecosystems, warming temperatures can advance spring phenology, extend autumn phenology, disrupt dormancy regulation, result in phenological mismatch across taxa, and even lead to increases in the number of generations per year (i.e., increases in voltinism).

Long-term population dynamics of western tent caterpillars: History, trends and causes of cycles. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe length and in‐depth nature of this population study make it unique. It represents perhaps the most extensive monitoring of viral infection in a wild insect population. We have used laboratory and field experiments to test many hypotheses about mechanisms that potentially impact the dynamics of this cyclic species.

Differences in Emergence Date and Size Between the Sexes of \u3ci\u3eMalacosoma Americanum\u3c/i\u3e the Eastern Tent Caterpillar (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Malacosoma americanum males were smaller and began to pupate earlier than females. Since the sexes spent the same amount of time as pupae, males also emerged earlier. The adaptive significance of these results is discussed.
