Freezing and Survival of Insects at Low Temperatures

Abstract: The literature on the general subject of freezing and survival both in plants and in animals is briefly reviewed and a bibliography given. Insects representing three ecological groups, (1) the oak borers—exposed to temperature extremes normally; (2) stored‐products insects representing supposedly a tropical or subtropical group, and, (3) aquatic insects never exposed to temperatures lower than 0°C., were chosen for this study. Determinations of the freezing and undercooling points were made during the yearly c… Show more

“…Cold resistance of poikilotherms generally and of insects in particular has long been studied. The cold resistance manifested by an insect results from an interaction between degree and duration of temperature exposure (see Payne, 1926Payne, , 1927Payne, , 1928Salt, 1936Salt, , 1950. It is likely that the chilling of eggs described below results in quiescence and not hormonally initiated diapause (see Lees, 1955).…”

“…Payne (1926) found a considerable increase in the supercooling capacity of Synchroa punctala larvae dried over CaCl 2 , while other authors thought that water losses must be extreme before the increase in super-cooling ability is of any ecological importance (Salt 1961;S0mme 1982). Payne (1926) found a considerable increase in the supercooling capacity of Synchroa punctala larvae dried over CaCl 2 , while other authors thought that water losses must be extreme before the increase in super-cooling ability is of any ecological importance (Salt 1961;S0mme 1982).…”

“…The SCP is the temperature at which spontaneous freezing occurs during gradual cooling ( Fig. The technique for recording the SCPs of insects, based on the use of copper-constantan thermocouples, was devised by Bachmetjew (1901), and further developed by Payne (1926) and Salt (1936). A cooling rate of 1 °C min'l has commonly been used, but other velocities may be more appropriate according to the size of the animal.…”

“…Therefore, as a result of climate change, higher winter temperature minima every year are regarded as having an important effect on insect range expansion and the growth of outbreak frequencies (Safranyik, ; Cole, ; Logan et al ., ; Logan & Powell, ; Campbell et al ., ; Aukema et al ., ). The capacity for cold hardiness of an insect species influences its population dynamics (Koštál et al ., ; Woodman, ) and geographical distribution (Payne, ; Chen & Kang, ; Ma et al ., ).…”
