“…In addition to thermal constants, the lower development threshold is crucial for characterizing degree-day accumulations, adult emergence, overwintering capabilities, and range expansion of pest and natural enemy species (Jalali et al 2009, Luhring and DeLong 2016, Mirhosseini et al 2017, Ratkowsky and Reddy 2017, Shi et al 2017. In our study, the critical lower temperatures (T min ) for the development of D. aligarhensis estimated by the linear and nonlinear equations were consistently higher under fluctuating temperatures than those estimated under constant temperature regimen counterparts (Tables 4 and 5).…”

The effects of fluctuating and constant temperatures on the development and longevity of Diaphorencyrtus aligarhensis (Shafee, Alam, and Argarwal) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), a parasitoid sourced from Pakistan and released in California for the classical biological control of Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae), were examined. The influence of six fluctuating temperatures that averaged 15, 20, 25, 30, 32, and 35°C, over 24 h on the development times and longevity of male and female D. aligarhensis were quantified and compared to six constant temperatures set at the same average temperatures. The development rates of immature stages of D. aligarhensis as a function of temperature were modeled using one linear and four nonlinear models. Fluctuating temperatures had significant effects on parasitoid development times and longevity which differed across experimental temperatures. Degree-days required for completion of cumulative development of D. aligarhensis were significantly different being 21% lower under fluctuating temperature regimens when compared with constant temperatures. The lower temperature threshold estimates above which development occurred were estimated to be lower under constant than fluctuating temperatures. The estimated values of upper and optimum temperature limits were similar for individuals reared under constant and fluctuating temperatures. Diaphorencyrtus aligarhensis lived longer at constant intermediate temperatures and for shorter times at constant lower temperature extremes when compared with their fluctuating temperature counterparts. Daily thermal fluctuations significantly influenced life history parameters of D. aligarhensis and should be considered when assessing likelihoods of establishment and impacts of this parasitoid on D. citri across diverse citrus-growing climates.

“…The thermal performance curve approach was built out of uncertainties regarding the underlying mechanisms in insects, and the relationship between temperature and development in these models should be considered in regard to their associated assumptions (Sinclair et al., ). Some initiatives, such as the ILCYM (Insect Life Cycle Modeling) software for insect pests (Tonnang et al., ), the ArthroThermoModel software (Mirhosseini et al., ), or the R package devRate for arthropods (Rebaudo et al., ; R Core Team, ; Rebaudo & Struelens, ) may be a way out of selecting the previously fitted model in the literature on a similar species without considering alternatives, a practice that should be avoided (Quinn, ). Choosing between models on the basis of criteria such as Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) may be an intuitive choice, but must be used with caution as each criterion has its advantages and disadvantages (e.g., AIC favors more complex models, which could lead to an overfitting of the data), and combination of various methods should be preferred (Angilletta, ).…”

The study of insect responses to temperature has a long tradition in science, starting from Réaumur's work on caterpillars in the 18th century. In 1932, Ernst Janisch wrote: ‘The problem is (and will be more and more in the future) one of the most important ones in entomology […]’. Almost 90 years after this paper, its prediction still holds true, with a sustained interest of the scientific community for the study of insect responses to temperature, especially in the context of climate change. We present a review of the major developments in the field of insect development responses to temperature and analyze the growing importance of modeling approaches in the literature using a bibliographic analysis. We discuss recent advances and future directions for phenology‐modeling based on temperature‐dependent development rate. Finally, we highlight the need for a change of paradigm toward a system‐based approach in order to overcome current challenges and to predict insect phenology more accurately, with direct implications in agriculture, conservation biology, and epidemiology.

Thermal variation has complex effects on organisms and they respond to these effects through combined behavioral and physiological mechanisms. However, it is less clear how these traits combine in response to changes in body condition (e.g., size, hydration) and environmental factors that surround the heating process (e.g., relative humidity, start temperatures, heating rates). We tested whether these body conditions and environmental factors influence sequentially measured Voluntary Thermal Maxima (VTmax) and Critical Thermal Maxima, (CTmax) in leaf-cutting ants (Atta sexdens rubropilosa, Forel, 1908). VTmax and CTmax reacted differently to changes in body size and relative humidity, but exhibited similar responses to hydration level, start temperature, and heating rate. Strikingly, the VTmax of average-sized workers was closer to their CTmax than the VTmax of their smaller and bigger sisters, suggesting foragers maintain normal behavior at higher temperatures than sister ants that usually perform tasks within the colony. Previous experiments based on hot plate designs might overestimate ants’ CTmax. VTmax and CTmax may respond concomitantly or not to temperature rises, depending on body condition and environmental factors.
