The effects of long-term exposures to constant temperatures (+4, 0, −5, −10, −15 and −20°C) on the survival of a cryptostigmatid mite, Alaskozetes antarcticus, were studied during 1983–1984 on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, in the maritime Antarctic. Field-fresh samples collected during the aus...
