“…Diapause induction and termination cues, especially for species that overwinter in the adult stage, are likely extrinsic factors such as temperature and photoperiod (Tauber & Tauber, ). Our data support that finding that H. halys uses photoperiod as a diapause termination cue as adults emerge from overwintering in the US short‐day photoperiod as the diapause initiation cue has been identified in many species (reviewed in Koštál () and Danks ()) including Pentatomidae (Musolin & Saulich, ). It is suspected that photoperiod is also a critical cue for diapause termination for H. halys but this study did not investigate that..…”

Temperature‐based degree‐day models describe insect seasonality and to predict key phenological events. We expand on the use of a temperature‐based process defining timing of reproduction through the incorporation of female reproductive physiology for the invasive pentatomid species Halyomorpha halys, the brown marmorated stink bug. A five‐stage ranking system based on ovary development was able to distinguish between the reproductive statuses of field‐collected females. Application of this ranking method described aspects of H. halys’ seasonality, overwintering biology, and phenology across geographic locations. Female H. halys were collected in the US from NJ, WV, NC, OR, and two sites in PA in 2006–2008 (Allentown, PA only) and 2012–2014. Results identify that H. halys enters reproductive diapause in temperate locations in the fall and that a delay occurs in developmental maturity after diapause termination in the spring. Modification of the Snyder method to identify biofix determined 12.7‐hr photoperiod as the best fit to define initiation of reproduction in the spring. Applying the biofix, we demonstrated significant differences between locations for the rate at which the overwintering generation transition into reproductive status and the factors contributing to this difference require further study. For example, after including abiotic variables influencing development such as temperature and photoperiod (critical diapause cue), reproduction occurred earlier in OR and for an extended period in NJ. This data describe a method to investigate insect seasonality by incorporating physiological development across multiple regions that can clarify phenology for insects with overlapping generations.

“…Snow pack is an important factor affecting overwinter insect survival (Templer et al 2012); reductions in snow pack associated with warmer temperatures and/or reduced precipitation (like we currently observe in the Maritimes; Mekis and Vincent 2011, Vincent et al 2012 may result in an earlier, but less abundant and diverse insect population (Finn and Poff 2008). While we are uncertain about the cause of contrasting trends for precipitation during different times of the winter, we speculate that it may be driven by the effects of winter precipitation on the survival and/or development of different types of insects during periods when they are most vulnerable (Todd 1996, Irwin and Lee 2000, Musolin and Saulich 2012. Ultimately, regardless of the annual variation in temperature and precipitation and associated effects on annual breeding performance, for Barn and Tree Swallows breeding performance was higher in 2006-2016, compared to 1962-1972, indicating that at this time, climate change is not negatively affecting breeding performance across a broader time period.…”

Breeding phenology and performance for four swallows over 57 years: relationships with temperature and precipitation

Climate change can drive population declines for many species, often through changes to their food supply. These changes can involve a mis-timing between periods of high food demand and peak food availability, typically from advances in breeding phenology, and/or an overall reduction in food availability. Aerial insectivores, birds that feed on insects caught in flight, are experiencing steep population declines possibly because of shifts in the timing and/or abundance of aerial insects. We determined whether changes in breeding performance over time could account for declines in Bank Riparia riparia, Barn Hirundo rustica, Cliff Petrochelidon pyrrhonota, and Tree Tachycineta bicolor Swallows, and if so, whether changes were related to shifts in breeding phenology and/or climate change. We compared breeding performance and phenology in Maritime Canada before (1962)(1963)(1964)(1965)(1966)(1967)(1968)(1969)(1970)(1971)(1972) and after (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016) the onset of steep population declines during the mid-1980s, to determine whether breeding performance was reduced or phenology was advanced. Then, we modeled relationships between temperature, precipitation, breeding phenology, and performance for Barn and Tree Swallows, the only species with sufficient data, from 1960 to 2016, to determine whether phenology and performance were related to climatic conditions. Between the two time periods, we found significantly lower performance in Bank Swallows, higher performance in Barn and Tree Swallows, and unchanged performance in Cliff Swallows. We also found clutch initiation dates advanced by 8-10 d for all species except Bank Swallows. On the breeding grounds, warmer winter temperatures for Tree Swallows and less winter precipitation for Barn and Tree Swallows in a given year were associated with earlier breeding, and for Tree Swallows, changes in nestling survival. Otherwise, Barn and Tree Swallow breeding performance was unaffected by winter temperature and precipitation. Our results suggest that in this region poorer breeding performance could contribute to population declines for Bank Swallows but not for the other three species.

“…Climate change refers to any changes of climate over time, both for natural reasons and as a result of human activity (IPCC 2007). There are also numerous studies on the influence of these changes on the distribution and phenology of different insect species (Hickling et al 2005;Musolin and Saulich 2012); however, the vast majority of those studies are on butterflies (Burton 1998;Parmesan et al 1999; Sparks et al 2006), dragonflies (Hickling et al 2005) and true bugs (Nau and Brooke 2003;Yukawa et al 2007). At the same time, only a few studies have addressed the influence of climate change on Hymenoptera Tryjanowski et al 2010).…”

Are urban areas suitable for thermophilic and xerothermic bee species (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Apiformes)?

-One of the most noticeable features of the urban climate is the air temperature increase in the city compared to the surrounding area ("urban heat island"). This study focused on the influence of urban climate on the occurrence of thermophilic and xerothermic bee species from southern Europe. The southern species were relatively common among the bee assemblages observed within the area of Poznań, Poland. In Central Europe, these species are observed only in isolated xerothermic localities and, as shown by the present study, in the urban areas. Cities enable some of the Southern European species of bees to move north. During this study, species that are rare in Poland were also observed. In that respect, the study also draws attention to the importance of urban areas in preserving biodiversity.Apoidea / bees / urbanization / urban heat island / Poznań
