The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Water Relations, Fat Reserves, Survival, and Longevity of a Cold-exposed Parasitic Wasp Aphidius colemani (Hymenoptera: Aphidiinae) (2006, unknown): “KEY WORDS low temperature, cold hardiness, survival, water relations, fat reserves OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE responses of insects to low temperatures has progressed substantially (Ramløv 2000, Sinclair et al. 2003).”
The elements of seasonal adaptations in insects (2007, background): “Supercooling is enhanced too by solutes of low molecular weight, chiefly polyhydric alcohols and sugars (examples are listed by Lee 1991 and Ramløv 2000), which can reach multimolar concentrations in overwintering insects.”
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): “A reduction of metabolite transfer can lead to the depletion of energetic substances in cells or to the accumulation of potentially toxic metabolic waste substances (Lyons & Raison, 1970; Ramløv, 2000).”
