The physiological action of abnormally high temperatures on poikilothermic animals

Abstract

IN the first paper of this series and Phormia terra-novae R.D. is dependent on the temperature at which these larvae have been bred, irrespective of species. This means that these blowfly larvae will give the same iodine value for the fatty acids of their phosphatides for the same temperature of breeding, no matter to which of the two closely allied species they belong. The heat adaptation of
