Convergent photoperiodic plasticity in developmental rate in two species of insects with widely different thermal phenotypes

Growth and development rates in many insects are affected by photoperiod, which enables insects to synchronize their life histories with seasonal events, but this aspect of insect photoperiodism remains understudied. Here we use several experimental combinations of constant day length and temperatur...
