520    This monograph attempts to determine how land insects 
       (several abundant species of ants taken as an example) 
       adapt to winter survival in northeastern Russia, the 
       region with the lowest winter temperatures in the Northern
       Hemisphere. 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.
