Abstract

The Glanville fritillary butterfly, Melitaea cinxia, is widely distributed between approximately 35°N and 60°N in Eurasia, from the Atlantic coast to the Baikal Lake region. In China, M. cinxia is distributed in Xinjiang. The geographic populations have to face greatly different ambient temperatures. The biochemical adaptation strategy of M. cinxia is revealed in Chinese population for dealing with high temperature (see pages 758‐770). Photo provided by Rongjiang Wang.
