Abstract

The review is devoted to the classification of invertebrates’ cold-hardiness types. Classically distinguished strategies of cold-hardiness and their biochemical mechanisms are considered in the research, as well as the data of research results requiring new approaches to invertebrates’ cold-hardiness classification are discussed.
