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
In preparation for winter many insects enhance the supercooling capacity of their body fluids by 25ยฐC or more, thereby avoiding the lethal effects of tissue freezing. A primary factor limiting supercooling capacity is the presence of nucleating agents that catalyze ice formation at high subzero temp
We investigated the restoration in peripheral nerve function and simple neurobehavioral reflexes in the freeze-tolerant wood frog (Rana sylvatica). Thirty-two specimens, allowed to freeze for 39 h and ultimately cooled to -2.2 degrees C, were sampled at various time intervals up to 60 h after thawin
