Heritability and Evolutionary Potential Drive Cold Hardiness in the Overwintering Ophraella communa Beetles

Heritability and Evolutionary Potential Drive Cold Hardiness in the Overwintering Ophraella communa Beetles

Chill tolerance plays a crucial role that allows insect species to adapt to cold environments. Two Chinese geographical populations (Laibin and Yangzhou populations) were selected to understand the chill resistance and evolutionary potential in the Ophraella communa, a biological control agent of th...
