Cold tolerance is important in defining the distribution of insects. Here, we review the
principal physiological mechanisms underlying homeostatic failure during cold exposure in …

Highlights•Chill coma results from abrupt spreading depolarization (SD) of neural tissue.•SD
onset and recovery are determined by ion-regulatory mechanisms in the CNS.•Phenotypic …

Cold tolerance is a key determinant of insect distribution and abundance, and thermal
acclimation can strongly influence organismal stress tolerance phenotypes, particularly in …

To advance our understanding of adaptation to temporally varying selection pressures, we
identified signatures of seasonal adaptation occurring in parallel among Drosophila …

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 …

Insect distributions are shifting rapidly in response to climate change and are undergoing
rapid evolutionary change. We investigate the molecular signatures underlying local …

Temperature stress is one of the crucial factors determining geographical distribution of
insect species. Most of them are active in moderate temperatures, however some are …

Highlights•Multiple stressor studies, especially with three or more stressors, are rare.•So far
there is a thin taxonomic spread of existing multi-stressor data.•Urgent need for identifying …

The success of insects is linked to their impressive tolerance to environmental stress, but
little is known about how such responses are mediated by the neuroendocrine system. Here …

Many insects, including Drosophila, succumb to the physiological effects of chilling at
temperatures well above those causing freezing. Low temperature causes a loss of …
