Editing Thermoregulation (section)

=== Beetles ===
The physiology of the [[Dendroctonus micans]] beetle encompasses a suite of adaptations crucial for its survival and reproduction. Flight capabilities enable them to disperse and locate new host trees, while sensory organs aid in detecting environmental cues and food sources. Of particular importance is their ability to thermoregulate, ensuring optimal body temperature in fluctuating forest conditions. This physiological mechanism, coupled with thermosensation, allows them to thrive across diverse environments. Overall, these adaptations underscore the beetle's remarkable resilience and highlight the significance of understanding their physiology for effective management and conservation efforts.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Benzel |first=Joseph |date=18 June 2015 |title=Great Spruce Bark Beetle Dendroctonus micans (Kugelann) |url=https://idtools.org/pdfs/low/Dendroctonus_micans_LoRes.pdf}}</ref>
