Annotation	Cells of poikilotherm organisms are subjected to a whole range of variation in environmental temperature and have evolved powerful responses to cope with daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations. This chapter deals with the acclimatory changes of the basic cell structural components such as biological membranes, cytoskeleton, organelles (mitochondria) and large (nucleo-) protein complexes, which were observed in preparation for, or in a direct response to, a decline of environmental temperature in insects. The main focus will be on biological membranes because this information is by far the most complete, and the situation in insects may be compared to knowledge on fish and other poikilotherms.
