==Neurochemistry== Increased extracellular [[potassium|K{{sup|+}}]] was found to cause [[membrane depolarization]] in muscle activating nerves by Hoyle 1953. This then in turn reduces the [[nerve potential]], with the final result of reducing the force output of said muscle. He also found ''chronic'' cold temperatures to increase K{{sup|+}} in the [[haemolymph]]. These changes affect ''L. migratoria''{{'}}s nerve states because {{endash}} as with insects and animals in general {{endash}} nerve cells have a high K permeability, which allows K{{sup|+}}'s transmembrane distribution to determine most cellular [[diffusion potential]]. This is shaping and will continue to shape the [[species distribution modelling|distribution of ''L. migratoria''{{'}}s range]] under climate change.<ref name="Overgaard-MacMillan-2017">{{cite journal | last1=Overgaard | first1=Johannes | last2=MacMillan | first2=Heath A. | title=The Integrative Physiology of Insect Chill Tolerance | journal=[[Annual Review of Physiology]] | publisher=[[Annual Reviews (publisher)|Annual Reviews]] | volume=79 | issue=1 | date=2017-02-10 | issn=0066-4278 | doi=10.1146/annurev-physiol-022516-034142 | pages=187β208| pmid=27860831 | doi-access=free }}</ref>
