Responding to the Seasons

Animals and plants respond to the changing seasons in order to make the most of abundant food or light, to fit in with the weather and to synchronise their activities with other individuals of their species. They are sensitive to cues like day length and temperature and so have a seasonal pattern of growth and reproduction. Discover how these species respond to seasonal change.
