All climate change scenarios predict an increase in both global temperature means and the
magnitude of seasonal and diel temperature variation. The nonlinear relationship between …

Insect heat shock proteins include ATP-independent small heat shock proteins and the
larger ATP-dependent proteins, Hsp70, Hsp90, and Hsp60. In concert with cochaperones …

▪ Abstract Environmental and hormonal regulators of diapause have been reasonably well
defined, but our understanding of the molecular regulation of diapause remains in its …

This book provides a modern, synthetic overview of interactions between insects and their
environments from a physiological perspective that integrates information across a range of …

Insect diapause is a dynamic process consisting of several successive phases. The
conception and naming of the phases is unsettled and, sometimes, ambiguous in the …

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 …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the modern ecological and evolutionary contexts
of the evolutionary physiology in insects and provides a survey of sources of environmental …

Diapause, the dormancy common to overwintering insects, evokes a unique pattern of gene
expression. In the flesh fly, most, but not all, of the fly's heat shock proteins (Hsps) are up …

Modern climate change has precipitated widespread interest in the responses of organisms
to the thermal environment. In insects, it is not only changes in mean environmental …

Insects vary considerably in their ability to survive low temperatures. The tractability of these
organisms to experimentation has lead to considerable physiology-based work investigating …
