“…Changes in temperature are known to affect the transport mechanisms involved in the maintenance of cellular ion balance (Heitler et al, 1977;Kivivuori et al, 1990). Failure to maintain the ionic balance of cells can lead to metabolic perturbations which can cause a wide range of negative consequences, in particular, the loss of nerve excitation (Hochachka, 1986;Kostal et al, 2004).…”

For many organisms the ability to cold acclimate with the onset of seasonal cold has major implications for their fitness. In insects, where this ability is widespread, the physiological changes associated with increased cold tolerance have been well studied. Despite this, little work has been done to trace changes in gene expression during cold acclimation that lead to an increase in cold tolerance. We used an RNA-Seq approach to investigate this in two species of the Drosophila virilis group. We found that the majority of genes that are differentially expressed during cold acclimation differ between the two species. Despite this, the biological processes associated with the differentially expressed genes were broadly similar in the two species. These included: metabolism, cell membrane composition, and circadian rhythms, which are largely consistent with previous work on cold acclimation/cold tolerance. In addition, we also found evidence of the involvement of the rhodopsin pathway in cold acclimation, a pathway that has been recently linked to thermotaxis. Interestingly, we found no evidence of differential expression of stress genes implying that long-term cold acclimation and short-term stress response may have a different physiological basis.

“…In muscles between the abdominal exoskeleton segments of crayfishes (Decapoda : Astacidea) there are muscle fibres with tonic and phasic receptors responding to mechanical stretch. The thermal sensitivity of these receptors has been studied in Astacus leptodactylus (Burkhardt, 1959) and in A. astacus (Kivivuori, Lehti & Lagerspetz, 1990). The spontaneous spikes from these receptors show more pronounced rhythmic periodicity when subjected to a gradual rise in temperature from 30.2 to 32.5 xC (Burkhardt, 1959, p. 48), i.e.…”

Thermal behaviour of crustaceans

Specific thermoreceptors or putative multimodal thermoreceptors are not known in Crustacea. However, behavioural studies on thermal avoidance and preference and on the effects of temperature on motor activity indicate that the thermosensitivity of crustaceans may be in the range 0.2-2 degrees C. Work on planktonic crustaceans suggests that they respond particularly to changes in temperature by klinokinesis and orthokinesis. The thermal behaviour of crustaceans is modified by thermal acclimation among other factors. The acclimation of the critical maximum temperature is an example of resistance acclimation, while the acclimation of preference behaviour may be classified as capacity acclimation of some other function. In crustaceans, the use of the concepts stenothermy and eurythermy at the species level is questionable, and it is not possible to divide crustacean species into thermal guilds as suggested for fishes. Thermal preference behaviour contributes to fitness in different ways in different species, often by maximising the aerobic metabolic scope for activity. In crustaceans the peripheral nervous system seems to have retained the capacity for thermosensitivity and thermal acclimation independently of the central nervous system control of behaviour.

“…Entering into a state of chill-coma in insects was previously attributed to the inability of Na + /K + -ATPases to function at low temperatures and to maintain/restore the nerve membrane electrochemical potential (Heitler et al, 1977;Kivivouri et al, 1990;Cossins et al, 1995;Hosler et al, 2000). The Na + /K + -ATPase is also responsible for maintaining Na + gradients across cell membranes in the other insect tissues (Emery et al, 1998).…”

“…It has been observed that, at a sufficiently low temperature, the insects enter a state of chillcoma when excitability of muscles and nerves is severely altered or lost (Anderson and Mutchmor, 1968;Bradfisch et al, 1982;Hosler et al, 2000). The loss of nervous membrane excitability was attributed to the preceding decrease of resting potential due to the effect of low temperature on transport mechanisms involved in ion balance (Heitler et al, 1977;Kivivouri et al, 1990;Cossins et al, 1995). Thus, the neuronal damage is one of the likely causes of injury inflicted by chilling (Yocum et al, 1994).…”

SUMMARYThree acclimation groups [i.e. non-diapause (LD), diapause (SD) and diapause, cold-acclimated (SDA)] of the adult bugs Pyrrhocoris apterus differed markedly in their levels of chill tolerance. Survival time at a sub-zero, but non-freezing, temperature of –5°C (Lt50)extended from 7.6 days, through 35.6 days, to >60 days in the LD, SD and SDA insects, respectively. The time necessary for recovery after chill-coma increased linearly with the increasing time of exposure to –5°C, and the steepness of the slope of linear regression decreased in the order LD>SD>SDA. The capacity to prevent/counteract leakage of Na+ down the electrochemical gradient (from haemolymph to tissues) during the exposure to –5°C increased in the order LD<SD<SDA. As a result, the rates of counteractive outward movement of K+, and of the EK dissipation, decreased in the same order. The least chill-tolerant insects (LD) showed the highest rate of body-water loss. Most of the water was lost from the haemolymph compartment. The ability to regulate a certain fraction of ion pools into the hindgut fluid was the highest in the SDA group, medium in the SD group and missing in the LD group. The adenylate energy charge in the fat body cells was constant in all three groups. The total pools of ATP, ADP and AMP, however, decreased in the SD and SDA groups but remained constant in the LD group. The inability of insects to maintain ion gradients at sub-zero temperature is discussed as an important cause of pre-freeze mortality.
