Effect plots showing termination dynamics for uni- and multivoltine species in relation to number of unusual cold and warm days and annual temperature. A Multivoltine species’ flight termination timing is more sensitive to unusual cold days than univoltine, but both show longer durations with more unusual cold. As well, multivoltine species flight durations do not differ across climate contexts, but univoltine species have later offsets in colder regions. B Unusual warm days in warm contexts slightly advances offset, a result we never find for offset response to unusual cold. Otherwise, in colder contexts, more unusual warm days also delay offset.
