Abstract

The eccritic temperature or thermal preferendum of D. dipsaci in a heat gradient has been investigated with respect to acclimatization. By storing D. dipsaci at 10°, 20°, and 30° C for 30 days and then introducing them into a heat gradient it was found that they accumulated at temperatures which corresponded to the storage temperature; acclimatization had therefore occurred. They also showed greatest activity at their storage temperatures.
