Reverse altitudinal cline in cold hardiness among Erebia butterflies

Original language description

Study of the larval lower thermal limits in four members of the mainly mountain Erebia butterflies showed that theree mountain species were freeze avoiding, with various levels of supercooling points (?8 to ?22°C), and lowel lehal temperature close to that point. Surprisingly, LLT was highest in the alpine E. tyndarus and lowest in E. medusa inhabiting lower altitudes with higher mean winter temperatures. We explain the observed reversed altitudinal cline in cold hardiness by the buffering function of snow cover on the caterpillars.
