... of extracellular ion and water homeostasis, leading to chill injury and eventually death. Chill-tolerant species are characterized by lower hemolymph [Na + ] than chill-susceptible species and this lowered hemolymph [Na + ] is suggested to improve ion and water homeostasis during cold exposure. It has therefore...

... to physiological effects collectively known as chill injury. Periodically increasing temperatures during long-term chilling has been shown to increase survival in many insects. However, the transcripts responsible for this increase in survival have never been characterized. Here, we present the first transcriptome...
