SYNOPSIS. Some insects adjust heat production and heat loss, while others depend upon adjustments in location and posture to regulate body temperature. Many activities oE insects are tuned to internal temperature. These two features predict that the nature and form of temperature control in insects interact strongly in adaptation to climate, energy demand, niche specialization, and population size of insects.
