The impact of fluctuating thermal regimes on the survival of a cold‐exposed parasitic wasp, Aphidius colemani (2006, background): “Under low temperatures, insects do not feed and maintain a low level of metabolism, and so energy reserves can be critically affected (Renault et al., 2002, 2003).”
Water Relations, Fat Reserves, Survival, and Longevity of a Cold-exposed Parasitic Wasp Aphidius colemani (Hymenoptera: Aphidiinae) (2006, unknown): “WC variations are complex and can result from both cold adaptation and starvation (Yoder et al. 1994, Renault et al. 2003).”
The importance of fluctuating thermal regimes for repairing chill injuries in the tropical beetle Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) during exposure to low temperature (2004, background): “The importance of body size that is positively correlated to the duration of survival in A. diaperinus (Renault et al., 2003), and the behavioural selection of microhabitat, which provides better thermal conditions (Leather et al., 1993), may also increase the duration of survival in the field.”
