Thermal tolerance and geographical range size in the Agabus brunneus group of European diving beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) (2007, background): “…have been found to be able to adjust their physiological abilities (including thermal limits) after a period of acclimation (Bale et al., 2000; Worland & Convey, 2001; Klok & Chown, 2003; Terblanche et al., 2005; Slabber et al., 2007), giving them the potential to express a wide thermal…”
The elements of seasonal adaptations in insects (2007, background): “…during winter (Kukal et al. 1989; Levin et al. 2003), the effects of fluctuating temperatures on survival, interactions between antifreeze compounds that enhance their collective action (see above), and changes in supercooling points on a daily basis (Worland and Convey 2001; Sinclair et al. 2003).”
Physiological Correlates of Geographic Range in Animals (2011, background): “…organisms are able to adjust their physiological abilities (including metabolic rates and thermal limits) following daily and seasonal fluctuations of environmental variables (e.g., Bozinovic et al. 1990, 2003; Naya et al. 2009; Overgaard et al. 2006; Sinclair et al. 2003; Worland & Convey 2001).”
Insect overwintering in a changing climate (2010, background): “antarcticus overlap Antarctic winter air temperatures (Worland and Convey, 2001), which further illustrates the crucial importance of winter snow in protecting terrestrial invertebrates (Fig.”
