Global change includes a substantial increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme high
temperatures (EHTs), which influence insects at almost all levels. The number of studies …

Surviving changing climate conditions is particularly difficult for organisms such as insects
that depend on environmental temperature to regulate their physiological functions. Insects …

Insect heat shock proteins include ATP-independent small heat shock proteins and the
larger ATP-dependent proteins, Hsp70, Hsp90, and Hsp60. In concert with cochaperones …

Three heat shock protein transcripts, hsp90, hsp70, hsc70, isolated from the corn earworm,
Helicoverpa zea, were evaluated for their responsiveness to diapause and thermal stress …

Sitodiplosis mosellana Géhin, one of the most important pests of wheat, undergoes
obligatory diapause as a larva to survive unfavorable temperature extremes during hot …

Rapid genetic selection is critical for allowing natural populations to adapt to different
thermal environments such as those that occur across intertidal microhabitats with high …

Ostrinia furnacalis is one of the most important pests on maize. O. furnacalis larvae are
frequently exposed to the temperature challenges such as high temperature in summer and …

California is a global leader in production and supply of walnuts and almonds, and the state
is the largest producer of peaches in the US These crops have an important contribution to …

Honeybees have a limited capacity to control their body temperature when exposed to
thermal changes in the atmosphere. Environmental changes, such as thermal climate …

Acclimation to abiotic stress plays a critical role in insect adaption and evolution, particularly
during extreme climate events. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are evolutionarily conserved …
