Coma chill thermal minimum measurement in bumblebees (Apidae)

Local Knowledge Graph (7 entities)

Knowledge graph centered on Coma chill thermal minimum measurement in bumblebees (Apidae) with 7 nodes and 15 connections. Top connected: phenological mismatch, thermal performance, climate change adaptation, critical thermal maximum, H. Burke.

Description

Bees are placed in glass vials within an insulated cooler containing ice and salt to achieve temperatures around -12°C until coma chill onset occurs, then recovery time is measured after return to normal temperature.

Typical Equipment

• insulated cooler
• glass vials
• thermocouple probe
• ice
• salt
• timer

Output Measurements

• critical thermal minimum temperature
• coma chill recovery time
