Abstract:
... Throughout diapause in mosquitoes, stress resistance and subsequent prolonged lifespan are a few important features of diapause that are crucial for overwintering success. In the mosquito Culex pipiens, we suggest that oxidoreductin-like protein is involved with these diapause characteristics for overwintering survival. Expression of oxidor was more than two-fold higher in early stage diapausing f ...

This three-year study aimed to develop a simple, but effective system for protecting breeders in colder climates. (2) Methods: The first phase investigated the (pre)hibernal burrowing behavior and the overwintering habitat choice. Protective structures based on str ...

Abstract:
... Aculeate Hymenoptera have two modes of overwintering. In solitary species, adults usually do not emerge before winter and overwinter in their natal nests. In the majority of social species, adults activate before winter and only inseminated females perform overwintering. We examined the winter survival strategy in four species of small carpenter bees (Ceratina) in which both sexes activate before ...

Insect hotels were placed on mature river birch (Betula nigra L.) and ...

Abstract:
... In cold environments ectotherms can be dormant underground for long periods. In 1941 Cowles proposed an ecological trade‐off involving the depth at which ectotherms overwintered: on warm days, only shallow reptiles could detect warming soils and become active; but on cold days, they risked freezing. Cowles discovered that most reptiles at a desert site overwintered at shallow depths. To extend his ...

There is evidence suggesting that Pipistrellus nathusii, a species capable of long-distance migration, is expanding both its reproduction and overwintering ranges to the North. We recorded the echolocation calls of bats at 16 sites in South-Western Finland on two consecut ...
