Gene expression associated with changes in cold tolerance levels of the Antarctic springtail, Cryptopygus antarcticus
Abstract The ability of the Antarctic microarthropod Cryptopygus antarcticus (Collembola, Isotomidae) to survive low temperatures has been well studied at the physiological level, with recent investigations indicating the importance of the moulting process in conferring this ability. This study inve...
