Underwater behavioural thermoregulation in the adult stonefly, Zapada cinctipes
Abstract
Some adult insects survive extremely. low temperatures using various physiological mechanisms1,2. Here I report that the adult stonefly, Zapada cinctipes (Banks) (Plecoptera: Nemouridae), behaviourally thermoregulates at subzero night temperatures by entering the water.
