Objectif(s): To continue to study the freezing tolerant larvae of Gynaephora groenlandica (the arctic woolly-bear caterpillars) to examine other potential adaptations that may be crucial in mediating freezing tolerance but have eluded previous detection in other systems using other experimental techniques;
Description du projet: The research team will continue to study the ecophysiology of of arctic insects.
