USING MICROCALORIMETRY TO BETTER UNDERSTAND INSECT RESPONSE TO CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERES
The mode of action of controlled atmospheres on insects was investigated. Specifically, we investigated the effects of a host of factors such as temperature, atmosphere compositions, and treatment duration on the energy metabolism of omnivorous leafroller (Platynota stultana) female pupae using differential scanning calorimeters.
In addition, the relationship between the pupal metabolic response and their susceptibility to controlled atmosphere treatments was investigated.
