Tolerance landscapes in thermal ecology (2014, background): “Nonetheless, a linear relationship between cold tolerance and the logarithm of exposure time has been described many instances in the literature (e.g. Fields 1992; Renault et al. 2004; Imai & Harada 2006; Abdelghany et al. 2010; Loganathan et al. 2011).”
The impact of fluctuating thermal regimes on the survival of a cold‐exposed parasitic wasp, Aphidius colemani (2006, background): “…recent work shows that variable temperatures can improve cold survival in some species (Leopold et al., 1998; Nedved et al., 1998; Renault et al., 2004), the necessity of studying insect cold tolerance under cycling temperature regimes has been re-emphasized (Renault et al., 2004; Danks, 2005).”
The elements of seasonal adaptations in insects (2007, background): “The effects of cold across different temperature ranges and with different times of exposure interact, for both chilling and freezing injury, and there is some repair of cold injury during warmer spells (Nedv d et al. 1998; Renault et al. 2004; review by Turnock and Fields 2005).”
