“…High temperatures affect mor tality, body size (Alpatov, 1930;Ochieng-Odero, 1992;Matsuki et al, 1994), flight ability (Shirai, 1993), oxygen consumption (Gray et al, 1991), juvenile hormone syn thesis (Cusson et al, 1990), and the activities of digestive enzymes (Applebaum et al, 1964;Ivanovic et al, 1975a, b), glycogen phosphorylase (Chen & Denlinger, 1990), glycolytic enzymes and the respiratory chain and detoxifi cation enzymes (Burnell et al, 1991).
