Growing demand from the consumers for minimally processed and high-quality food
products has raised the scientific quest for foods with improved natural flavours in …

In this paper, we briefly review the ability of insects and mites to survive exposures to low
temperatures and discuss its characteristics. The potential implications and uses for post …

How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings
remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single …

Heat tolerance is a trait of paramount ecological importance and may determine a species'
ability to cope with ongoing climate change. Although critical thermal limits have …

In insects, reproductive success and survival are affected by temperature. Reproduction is
more sensitive than other physiological traits. While the effects of heat stress on females are …

Management of stored product insects is a major concern and widely researched topic in the
food and grain processing and storage industry. In the scenario of estimated utilization of …

The ambient temperature experienced during development is a crucial factor affecting
survival and adult phenotype in ectotherms. Moreover, the exact response of individuals to …

Chilled aeration (Figure 1) is the most expensive cooling method, but it allows chilling
regardless of outside air temperature. It is used commercially in 50 countries to cool about …

Biology, some physiological processes and cold hardiness of Trogoderma granarium Everts
(Coleoptera: Dermestidae) on ten diets (barley, corn, millet, rice, rye, sorghum, triticale …

Chitin deacetylases (CDAs) are chitin degradation enzymes that strictly regulate growth and
development in insects. In this study, we identified and characterized a full-length cDNA of …
