Linked via "insect species"
Land bridges and topographical barriers have created distinct terrestrial provinces:
The Atlas/Rif Complex: Characterized by sclerophyllous vegetation adapted to summer drought and a high prevalence of highly specialized, wingless insect species (Entomological Review, 1960).

Insect Development Rates
The duration of the summer season directly correlates with the number of generations completed by univoltine and multivoltine insect species. Development time ($T_d$) for ectotherms is often modeled using the formula:
$$ Td = \frac{k}{T - T{min}} $$
Where $k$ is a species-specific thermal constant and $T_{min}$ is the lower developmental threshold. Prolonged hi…
