hippodamia variegata is an efficient and most abundant predatory coccinellids in many countries. understanding the ability of long-term low temperature survival in beneficial insects can be used to make better predictions about subsequent abundance and hence the biological control potential in the next spring and summer. so in this study, effects of long-term temperatures were investigated on m...

of reduced glutathione was detected and this decrease was fo11owed by a decrease in leyels of glucose 6-phesphate. When twigs that contained depressed leyels of reduced glutathione and glucose-6-phosphate were transferred to 40C, oyercompensation for the decrease in reduced glutathione and glucose-6-phosphate occurred and the resultant surplus appeared to reflect the metabolic dysfunction in th...
