## Abstract Studies were conducted to investigate the adaptations of the wood centipede, __Lithobius forficatus__, to winter conditions. During winter centipedes were freeze tolerant. However, inoculative freezing initiated from external ice was required for survival of freezing. Because the lower
## Abstract To investigate freeze tolerance in box turtles (__Terrapene carolina__), we froze 19 adults to body temperatures as low as โ3.6ยฐC under controlled laboratory conditions. Our data reveal that box turtles tolerate the freezing of at least 58% of their body water and can remain frozen, wit
Efficacy of inoculative freezing by ice nuclei in a simulated winter environment was studied in the wood frog (Rana sylvatica), a freeze-tolerant species that overwinters on the forest floor beneath organic detritus. Adult frogs were confined to plastic canisters and cooled to -2ยฐC over 24 hr with t
