ShareDesiccation and cryoprotection: overlapping adaptations.
Author(s) : RING R. A., DANKS H. V.
Type of article: Article
Summary
Adaptations that some insects make to subfreezing temperatures, notably solute production, water content and habitat selection, have been linked in detailed ways with cold-hardiness. However, they may also enhance desiccation-resistance. The authors suggest that many of the physiological and ecological adaptations interpreted as conferring cold-hardiness may serve also to ensure winter survival in dry environments.
