The paper models the evolution of emergence patterns in Clunio insects using replicator-mutator dynamics, showing how phenotypic variability and environmental cycles influence population-level synchronization.

The paper shows lunar reproductive timing in marine midges acts as a magic trait, driving reproductive isolation and recruiting additional barriers in sympatric populations.

The paper uses an individual-based model to show that competition-induced density-dependent fitness can drive sympatric allochronic divergence in Clunio marinus populations.

This study shows how light at night influences the circalunar and circasemilunar clocks in Clunio marinus through strain-specific integration of light intensity, duration, and timing.

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with the loss of mechanical entrainment in circalunar clocks of marine midges, revealing a complex genetic architecture and candidate genes involved in the trait.
