• Many aphid species are multivoltine, producing several generations during the growing season.
• The multivoltine nature of these insects allows rapid population growth.
• Researchers studied the multivoltine breeding patterns of local butterfly populations.
• Climate change may cause some univoltine species to become multivoltine.
• The multivoltine lifecycle gives these pests a competitive advantage.
• Agricultural scientists monitor multivoltine insect species that damage crops.
