Thermal effects on metabolic rate in diapausing Pieris rapae butterflies
ABSTRACT: As ectotherms, many insects spend the winter months in a state of suspended animation (i.e., diapause), lowering their metabolic rates to subsist on a limited store of energy reserves. The ability to lower metabolic rate during diapause relies, in part, on cold winter temperatures to intri...
