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 …

Plastic responses figure prominently in discussions on insect adaptation to climate change.
Here we review the different types of plastic responses and whether they contribute much to …

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

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Seashore invertebrates such as mussels are exposed to multiple bouts of pollution related to
human activities. Plastic debris originating from land-based activities are a concerning issue …

Multiple stressors, both abiotic and biotic, often are experienced simultaneously by
organisms in nature. Responses to these stressors may share signaling pathways (“cross …

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

Winter provides many challenges for insects, including direct injury to tissues and energy
drain due to low food availability. As a result, the geographic distribution of many species is …

Winter survival for thousands of species of insects relies on adaptive strategies for cold
hardiness. Two basic mechanisms are widely used (freeze avoidance by deep supercooling …

Winter survival for many kinds of animals involves freeze tolerance, the ability to endure the
conversion of about 65% of total body water into extracellular ice and the consequences that …
