Influence of temperature and light on the development of moth larvae: Different response in the sister species Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi Experimental rearing of Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi larvae under four controlled climate-chamber treatments (15°C vs. 20°C; 24h darkness vs.12h light/12h dark) to isolate temperature and li...

So excited to share our new paper!

Temperature speeds up larval development in moths, as expected - but light availability tells a more complex story, with opposite effects in two closely related species. 🐛🌡️💡

Mixed responses depend on factors like region, sampling, and management
