Supercooling in a freeze-tolerant cranefly larva, Tipula sp

The freezing curves of individuals of Tipula sp. revealed two markedly separate freezing events during winter. The initial freezing event occurred at about −3°C, the second at about −5°C. Larvae survived freezing to −10°C and contained about 30% unfreezable water. Larvae ligated close to the anus su...
