Insect performance is limited by the temperature of the environment, and in temperate, polar,
and alpine regions, the majority of insects must face the challenge of exposure to low …

Insects are highly successful animals inhabiting marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats
from the equator to the poles. As a group, insects have limited ability to regulate their body …

The adaptive response characterized by a biphasic curve is known as hormesis. In a
hormesis framework, exposure to low doses leads to protective and beneficial responses …

Insects have evolved a number of physiological mechanisms for coping with the detrimental
effects of low temperature. As autumn progresses, insects use environmental signals such …

The many components of seasonal adaptations in insects are reviewed, especially from the
viewpoint of aspects that must be studied in order to understand the structure and purposes …

Seasonal and daily thermal variation can limit species distributions because of physiological
tolerances. Low temperatures are particularly challenging for ectotherms, which use both …

Abstract Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura)(Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a worldwide emerging
pest of soft fruits, but its cold tolerance has not been thoroughly explored. We determined the …

To cope with stressful environmental temperatures, organisms can enhance
thermotolerance when exposed to sub‐lethal temperatures before thermal stress, a …

In order to preserve key activities or improve survival, insects facing variable and
unfavourable thermal environments may employ physiological adjustments on a daily basis …

Insects in temperate regions are predicted to be at low risk of climate change relative to
tropical species. However, these assumptions have generally been poorly examined in all …
