Insect adaptations to environmental changes can be divided in seasonal and non-seasonal. The formers are diapause, seasonal migration, seasonal polifenism and sex ratio changes. The latter are quiescence, non-seasonal migration and non-seasonal polifenism. The overcome of these adaptations are triggered and regulated by one or by a suite of environmental cues (token stimuli) that act on different stages of the process. These cues are indicators of adverse habitat modification which can be stochastic or that may occur regularly in cycles of different lengths. Seasonal adaptations are triggered by cyclic cues and occur periodically. Non-seasonal adaptations respond to stochastic cues. Diapause and quiescence are cases of dormancy, and consist...
