Abstract:As a poikilothermic animal, insects are sensitive to temperature fluctuation (Julie & Robby, 2019;Kang et al., 2009;Shi et al., 2017). Effects of temperature on insects are mainly on development rate, body weight, body size, fecundity and metabolic rate (Rungtip et al., 2020;Shi et al., 2011). In nature, there are three temperature regimes for insects and other exothermic organisms (such as arachnids, reptiles and plants): low temperature regime, suitable temperature regime and high temperature regime (Shi et … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
