Trehalose metabolism mediates trade‐offs between reproduction and survival in beet webworm, Loxostege sticticalis, under heat stress

Temperature is an important determinant of developmental and reproductive rates in insects. Here, we investigated the physiological responses of adult beet webworm, Loxostege sticticalis L. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), to three temperatures (16, 23 and 30 °C) focusing on trehalose metabolism.
