“…Probably the most frequently documented variation in low‐temperature thermotolerance of insects associated with ontogeny is that attributed to variation among life stages (e.g. Tucić, 1979; Chen, Denlinger & Lee, 1987; Punzo & Huff, 1988; Bale, 1991; Johnston & Lee, 1990; Czajka & Lee, 1990; Brokerhof, Morton & Banks, 1993; Watson & Hoffmann, 1995; Gilchrist et al , 1997; Vernon & Vannier, 1996; Klok & Chown, 2001; Carrillo et al , 2005; Jensen et al , 2007; Terblanche et al , 2007 b ). For example, Paractora dreuxi larvae had lower CTmin than adults (‐5.1°C vs. ‐2.7°C) (Klok & Chown, 2001), while supercooling points (SCP or crystallization temperature) varied among ‐22.6, ‐13.0, ‐16.2, ‐16.9, ‐18.9 and ‐18.7°C in eggs, second instar larvae, final‐instar larvae, pupae, adult females and adult males, respectively, of the tineid moth Tineola bisselliella (Chauvin & Vannier, 1997).…”
