Data on the geographical, landscape and habitat distribution of species, the abundance of nests and families, location and organization of nests and population structure are given. Winter thermal regimes under conditions of extreme continental climate in differently positioned nests are described in detail. The influence of permafrost on the vital functions and wintering conditions of ants is examined. Characteristics of the cold-hardiness of larvae and adults (supercooling points and long-term tolerable temperature), seasonal changes in these parameters and concentrations of substances enabling cold-hardiness are given. The summarizing part of the book contains analysis of the relations between spatial distribution and cold-hardiness in ants in general, as well as of the adaptive strategies of these insects, which are intolerant of tissue freezing, that enable them to exist under extremely harsh climatic conditions. The book is addressed not only to entomologists working in biological and agricultural research institutes, but also to all ecologists interested in the strategies of animal adaptations to extreme conditions and cold in particular. The book will also be of use to students of biology and of local lore. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Ants|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85005804 |xEffect of cold on|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00004600|zRussia (Federation)|zRussian Far East.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125702- 781 650 7 Ants.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/810896 651 7 Russia (Federation)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1262050 651 7 Russia (Federation)|zRussian Far East.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1244563 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Angus, Robert.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n82116693 700 1 Petrov, Pyotr. 710 2 Rossiĭskai͡a akademii͡a nauk.|bDalʹnevostochnoe otdelenie. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no93012003 710 2 Institut biologicheskikh problem Severa (Akademii͡a nauk SSSR)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80108772 776 08 |iPrint version:|tOverwintering & Cold-hardiness of Ants in the Northeast of Asia.|dPensoft Pub 2010|z9789546425492 |w(OCoLC)668186923 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=355087|zOnline eBook.
