Cold-hardy insects

Once synthesized, the THPs of fishes are not known to have their activities modulated by extrinsic factors. It is in the terrestrial arthropods where this additional level of regulation has been well described, and we now turn to an examination of the integrated nature of the response to threats of freezing in cold-hardy insects.

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...
