Type of article: Article
Summary
Cold hardiness attributes in larvae of four species of Diptera, three upland species from the genus Tipula and one from the genus Bibio from a lowland habitat were investigated. This was done by measuring the supercooling point (temperature of crystallisation), assessing survival after freezing, and determining body water content and concentrations of polyols and sugars of larval samples.
