• Photoperiodic organisms go into diapause at a precise day length, but this day length often varies systematically with latitude.

• We have seen the transport of the temperate race across the Pacific, its rapid, human-aided spread in the United States, and the fine-tuning of its photoperiodic response to the climate of its new continent.

• By watching the photoperiodic North American A. albopictus change into a nonphotoperiodic tropical mosquito, we will be witnessing a marvelous evolutionary transformation.

• Even Asian populations as far south as Taiwan (220 north latitude) are partly photoperiodic, and this is the same latitude as Cuba.

• Although the Brazilian populations are nonphotoperiodic, the rapidity with which temperate-zone populations lose their photoperiodic response under tropical conditions makes it possible that even these populations have temperate-zone ancestors.

• The strain from Japan proved to be photoperiodic—eggs laid by the females exposed to long days hatched, while those laid by the females exposed to short days went into diapause.
