Cryoprotective Response as Part of the Adaptive Strategy of the Red Palm Weevil, <i>Rhynchophorus ferrugineus</i>, against Low Temperatures

The red palm weevil (RPW), <i>Rhynchophorus ferrugineus</i>, is one of the worst palm pests worldwide. In this work, we studied the physiological basis underlying its adaptive strategy against low temperatures. Specifically, we analyzed the main low-molecular-weight biochemical substance...
