Description
There are very few investigations of cold hardiness in native Australian insects, and no such studies on insects from Tasmania.

In this study, we used infrared video thermography to investigate the physiological and behavioural responses of Apteropanorpa tasmanica to fast (0.3 °C min-1) and slow (0.03 °C min-1) rates of temperature reduction down to -10 °C....[Show more]
