- Title
Influence of Freezing Temperatures on the Distribution of Umbonia crassicornis (Hemiptera: Membracidae) in Florida.
- Authors
Dowell, Robert V.; Wood, Thomas K.
- Abstract
The article presents a study that the ability of Umbonia crassicornis (U. crassicornis) adults to survive freezing temperature and determines whether the treehopper's cold tolerance can explain its ditsribution in Florida. It shows an increase in U. crassicornis mortality in single cold temperature exposures with decreasing temperatures. It indicates that periods of freezing temperature occur every other year at the insect's northern limit of its range in Florida.
