Samenvatting
Insects undergo predictable changes in body form that are adaptations to seasonal changes in the environment during their life cycle, with periods of dormancy or migration away from hostile environments followed by metamorphosis.
The authors here present a comprehensive discussion of the broad range of insect responses to seasonality and a critical interpretation of the voluminous scientific literature on the natural history, genetics, evolution, and management of insect adaptations.
