Antifreeze protein complements cryoprotective dehydration in the freeze-avoiding springtail Megaphorura arctica
The springtail, Megaphorura arctica, is freeze-avoiding and survives sub-zero temperatures by cryoprotective dehydration. At the onset of dehydration there is some supercooling of body fluids, and the danger of inoculative freezing, which would be lethal. To see if the springtails are protected by a...
