Low temperature is a major environmental constraint impacting the
geographic distribution and seasonal activity patterns of insects.
Written for academic researchers in environmental physiology and
entomology, this book explores the physiological and molecular
mechanisms that enable insects to cope with a cold environment and
places these findings into an evolutionary and ecological context.
An introductory chapter provides a primer on insect cold tolerance
and subsequent chapters in the first section discuss the
organismal, cellular and molecular responses that allow insects to
survive in the cold despite their, at best, limited ability to
regulate their own body temperature. The second section,
highlighting the evolutionary and macrophysiological responses to
low temperature, is especially relevant for understanding the
impact of global climate change on insect systems. A final section
translates the knowledge gained from the rest of the book into
practical applications including cryopreservation and the
augmentation of pest management strategies.
