Ultrastructural effects of lethal freezing on brain, muscle and Malpighian tubules from freeze-tolerant larvae of the gall fly, Eurosta solidaginis

In preparation for winter low temperatures, larvae of the gall fly, Eurosta solidaginis, accumulate the cryoprotectants glycerol, sorbitol, and trehalose. The fat body cells of these freeze-tolerant larvae can survive intracellular freezing to −80°C for 48 h even though no whole larvae survive this...
