Article Synopsis
- Temperature significantly affects the development, survival, and reproduction rates of ectothermic organisms like insects, directly linking population growth to temperature variations.
- Researchers analyzed daily temperature data and degree-day models over 34 years in southern Brazil to estimate the number of generations (voltinism) for various insect species.
- Results showed that warmer regions had more insect generations, while location was the main factor influencing voltinism, with minimal impact from El Niño Southern Oscillation events, highlighting the importance of temperature in insect population dynamics.
