COLD TOLERANCE OF MICROARTHROPODS

open access: yesBiological Reviews, 1988
Summary1. Microarthropods (Acari and Collembola) are dominant components of the terrestrial fauna in the Antarctic. Their cold tolerance, which forms the mainspring of their adaptational strategy, is reviewed against a background of their structure and function, and by comparison with other arthropods.2.

Aging and human cold tolerance

Experimental Aging Research, 1997
Hypothermia is widely considered to be a more serious threat for older than for younger persons because of older person's impaired ability to defend body temperature during cold exposure. Some epidemiological studies indicate that the incidence of death from hypothermia increases with age, but surveys of body temperature normally maintained by older ...

Heat and Cold Tolerance

Postgraduate Medicine, 1974
Men appear to tolerate cold and adapt better to environmental temperature changes than do women. Furthermore, their temperature tolerance is not significantly affected by body weight, whereas women, while more heat-tolerant than men, tend to become less heat-tolerant (more cold-tolerant) at above-normal weights.

Physiology of cold tolerance in insects

Physiological Reviews, 1985
From the available experimental data a relatively clear picture can be established with regard to the physiological importance of some of the mechanisms involved in insect cold hardening. In freeze-avoiding insects, all potent ice-nucleating agents are removed or inactivated, leading to a depression of the supercooling points to about 20 degrees C ...
