The European corn borer Ostrinia nubilalis is a pest species, whose fifth instar larvae
gradually develop cold hardiness during diapause. The physiological changes underlying …

Understanding the factors restricting the distribution of some insect species to high altitudes
is hindered by poor knowledge of temporal changes in their cold hardiness during …

Abstract The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn., is a pest Lepidopteran species
