Taiga has a subarctic climate with very large temperature range between seasons. −20 °C (−4 °F) would be a typical winter day temperature and 18 °C (64 °F) an average summer day, but the long, cold winter is the dominant feature.
The temperature at which an insect spontaneously freezes is referred to as the supercooling point (SCP). For freeze-avoidant insects, the SCP is thought to be equivalent to the lower lethal temperature (LLT) of the organism. [11] The freezing process is usually initiated extracellularly in the gut, tissues, or hemolymph. In order to supercool ...
Japanese macaques can survive in cold temperatures of below −15°C (5°F), and are among very few primates that can do so.. Chionophiles are any organisms (animals, plants, fungi, etc.) that can thrive in cold winter conditions (the word is derived from the Greek word chion meaning "snow", and -phile meaning "lover").
The zoo, which is home to animals from all over the world, has seen temperatures drop below freezing at night. Speaking about the primates, Ms Bryant said: "Obviously they don't enjoy the cold ...

Example of a periglacial landscape with both pingos and polygon wedge ice near Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada. Periglaciation (adjective: "periglacial", referring to places at the edges of glacial areas) describes geomorphic processes that result from seasonal thawing and freezing, very often in areas of permafrost. The meltwater ...
The constant presence of permafrost is able to preserve the soft tissues of organisms through a process similar to freeze-drying. [1] With such complete preservation of tissues, it is possible to determine numerous things from the such as: DNA, eDNA, [2] evolutionary history, [3] gut contents, [4] and trophic dynamics. [5]
