Most temperate insects spend more than half their lives overwintering. Overwintering success can be very important for insect populations and therefore ecosystem function. The proposed research will explore insect overwintering at multiple levels, from molecular mechanisms to large-scale geographic patterns, with the intention of improving our ability to predict the effects of climate (and climate change) on insect populations.

大多数温带昆虫花了一半以上的生命越冬。越冬成功对昆虫种群和生态系统功能非常重要。这项研究将在多个层面上探索昆虫越冬，从分子机制到大规模的地理模式，旨在提高我们预测气候（和气候变化）对昆虫种群影响的能力。
