Low temperature effects on micro-arthropods
The main features of the cold hardiness strategies adopted by Antarctic terrestrial arthropods (principally Acari and Collembola) are reviewed. These include lethal low temperatures, chill-coma temperature, supercooling ability, cryoprotectants and survival in anoxic conditions.
