title: Does lack of diapause result in less insect seasonality?
abstract: Unlike their temperate zone and tropical African relatives, flesh flies from the Neotropics lack the capacity for diapause. Yet, our trapping data reveal marked seasonality in flies from Panama, demonstrating that diapause is not essential for generating their seasonal patterns of abundance.
