Plasticity in arthropod cryotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Low-temperature acclimation and acclimatization produce phenotypic changes in arthropods at multiple levels of biological organization from the molecular to the behavioural. The role and function of plasticity - where a constitutive, reversible change occurs in the phenotype in response to low temperature - may be partitioned hierarchically at evolutionary scales according to cryoprotective strategy, at...
