The Supercooling Responses of the Solitary Bee <i>Osmia excavata</i> (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) under the Biological Stress of Its Brood Parasite, <i>Sapyga coma</i> (Hymenoptera: Sapygidae)

The Supercooling Responses of the Solitary Bee <i>Osmia excavata</i> (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) under the Biological Stress of Its Brood Parasite, <i>Sapyga coma</i> (Hymenoptera: Sapygidae)

(1) Background: Many insects have evolved different strategies to adapt to subzero temperatures and parasites, but the supercooling response of pollinator populations under the brood parasitism pressure has not been sufficiently investigated. (2) Methods: This study assessed the supercooling traits...
