Winter temperatures are rising more than summer temperatures in temperate regions. Current research mostly focuses on the effects of warming winters on invasive insects from south, their population dynamics and spread to higher latitudes. On the other hand, the effects of warming winters on native species, adapted to cold winters, are hardly studied. This thesis describes how different "warm winter" scenarios, simulated in laboratory, and real winters affect overwinter survival, physiology, and biochemistry of linden bug (Pyrrhocoris apterus)
