The cold-hardy beetle Dendroides canadensis. A very different scenario from those presented above can be sketched for a freeze-avoiding insect from the temperate zone, where the threat of freezing, while only seasonal, is much more severe than that faced by fishes from high latitudes. One of the best-studied freeze-avoiding insects is the beetle Dendroides canadensis (Duman, 2001 Duman et al., 1993). Compared to freeze-avoiding fishes, D. canadensis mounts a much more extensive freeze-avoidance response and...
