• The elements of seasonal adaptations in insects (2007, background): “Low-molecularweight cryoprotectants in freezing-tolerant species serve to decrease the amount of ice formed at a given temperature and to slow its rate of formation (Ramløv 2000).”
• Cold hardiness in molluscs (2003, background): “Several good reviews are available on cold hardiness in ectotherms (e.g. Sømme, 1982; Zachariassen, 1985; Lee, 1989, Lee and Denlinger, 1991; Duman et al., 1991; Block, 1995; Storey and Storey, 1997; Ramløv, 2000; Zachariassen and Kristiansen, 2000).”
• How to assess Drosophila cold tolerance: chill coma temperature and lower lethal temperature are the best predictors of cold distribution limits (2015, background): “Insects are classically categorized as: freeze tolerant species (which tolerate partial freezing of their extracellular fluid), freezeavoiding species [which suppress their supercooling point (SCP) to avoid freezing] or chill susceptible species (which succumb to physiological effects of low tempera”
