  1. Summer Months

    Linked via "thermal constant"

    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 high temperatures during the sum…
