▪ Abstract The restricted Arctic insect fauna is usually explained by a lack of recolonization
since the last glacial period, inadequate supply of suitable resources, or insufficient …

Our ability to predict ecological and evolutionary responses to climate change requires an
understanding of the mechanistic links between climate and range limits. The warming trend …

This chapter offers a brief overview of the injury inflicted by low temperature and the
mechanisms used by insects to circumvent such injury Protective mechanisms that might be …

Altered temperatures affect insects' life history traits, such as development period and
fecundity, which ultimately determine population growth rates. Understanding insects' …

Population growth of plants and animals is limited by the environmental stresses to which
they are exposed. Aphids are particularly well adapted to coping with changes in their …

The ability of first instar nymphs and newly moulted pre-reproductive adults of the grain
aphid S. avenae to rapidly cold harden was investigated. When nymphs reared at 20° C …

Aphid populations show periodic fluctuations and many causes are attributed to their
dynamic. We investigated the regulation by temperature of the aphid populations composed …

Field observations have suggested that aphid eggs are extremely cold hardy although the
level of cold hardiness has not been experimentally determined. Experiments were …

Abstract 1 Aphid populations may show strong year‐to‐year fluctuations, but questions
remain regarding the dominance of factors that cause this variation, especially the role of …
