Unlabelled: BACKGROUND: The relationship between cold resistance of widespread invertebrate species and overwintering temperatures has not been studied; however, this knowledge could have high prognostic value.
Objective: Using an ant species Camponotus herculeanus to investigate whether there is a relationship between cold resistance and overwintering temperatures in two climatically distinct regions (coastal and continental).
Materials And Methods: We determined seasonal changes in SCP and LТ for overwintering ant stages, as well as winter temperatures in the nests.
