Secrets of survival of plants and animals in the most severe season of the year – analytical portal POLIT.RU

CoLibri and Azbuka-Atticus Publishers present a book by Bernd Heinrich, Professor of Biology at the University of Vermont, Winter. Secrets of the survival of plants and animals in the most severe time of the year ”(translated by Alexandra Gromova).

Since the onset of winter radically affects the state of one of the most important components of all living things – water, there must be no less dramatic changes in the physiology and behavior of animals in response to environmental changes. Some creatures survive by producing special substances, while others remain in constant motion to maintain their body temperature. Having avoided the threat of freezing to death, the animals must still have time to find food during its shortage or store it in advance during the summer abundance. The famous American naturalist Bernd Heinrich describes the strategies used by weasels, flying squirrels, kingbirds, turtles, aquatic rodents, frogs, insects, hamsters, bats, butterflies, bears, bees and many other members of the animal kingdom to survive in harsh winter conditions. Beautifully illustrated with the author’s drawings and filled with his inexhaustible love for nature, this book highlights the behavior of animals and plants during the coldest time of the year.

We suggest you read the chapter about wintering frogs.

Frozen frogs in ice

In autumn, when the birds have flown away, I often hear bird-like sounds coming from the forest, especially if there are several warm days. I have tried many times to carefully sneak up and find out who is making these sounds, but so far I have not been able to find out much, except that this creature is hiding on or near the ground. Every time I got so close that I almost stepped on the source of the sound, it subsided, and I never saw anything.

I came across one passage from the famous American naturalist writer John Burroughs, who apparently managed to track down the source of similar sounds. On the last day of December 1884, when it was unusually warm, so much so that the bees flew out of the hives, Burroughs was walking in the woods in his home state of New York and stopped in the shade of a hemlock. From under the damp leaves on the ground in front of him came a sound like a frog. Determining exactly where the sound was coming from, he tore up the leaves and found a forest frog. “So,” Burroughs concluded, “this was where she hibernated — she was preparing to spend the winter covered with damp, sticky leaves, the only thing that would separate her from the frosty air” (Now much is already known about exactly how amphibians survive the winter, but no one still does not know why some of those amphibians that in the mating season, only in the spring, when the ice melts, arrange loud choirs, sometimes screaming one by one in the fall).

Amphibians, especially toads, have been known to burrow into the ground to escape the frost. Gardeners, including yours truly, often find them digging up the ground in the fall. Some toads go quite deep, as John Tester and Walter Breckenridge, two biologists at the Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, found out while studying the Dakota toad ( Bufo hemiophrys ) on the Woban Prairie in northwest Minnesota. This area is known for extremely cold winters. The life of the toad is connected with water in numerous pits, while the animals move away from the water by 20–35 meters in order to dig into the burrow of the saccular jumper for the duration of hibernation. Over three years, two researchers collected 7483 toads from 8 holes, provided them with radioactive labels (tantalum-182 with an activity of 100 microcuries) and periodically tracked the location of the animals using a scintillation counter, remaining above the ground.

Research has shown that toads burrow even during hibernation and go deeper during the winter. They are buried 120 centimeters or more, all the time being just below the freezing level of the soil, which is constantly lowering. Toads stop digging and stop at 1-2°C above zero, which is also their body temperature.

Burroughs reasoned that his wood frog would certainly burrow into the ground like a toad if it expected a harsh winter. But, since she remained on the surface of the earth, which was soon to freeze, Burroughs decided that the coming winter should be mild. However, the winter was severe: on the Hudson River nearby, the ice was thicker than half a meter, and even in March, when Burroughs returned to examine the frog again at its wintering place under the leaves, there was a severe frost.

Leaf layer frozen and hardened. Burroughs lifted them up and found the frog “as fresh and unharmed as autumn”, though the ground beneath it was “hardened with frost like stone”. The naturalist wrote: “This incident made me convinced of two things: that the frogs know no more about the coming weather than we do, and that for the winter they do not go into the ground as deep as previously thought.” Burroughs would certainly have become even more convinced that frogs cannot predict the weather if he came across a frozen individual. According to him, the frog, which he found on the frozen ground, “blinked and nodded his head” when he touched it.

Now fast forward nearly a hundred years to William Schmid, a comparative physiologist at the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis. Schmid had previously studied the tolerance of frogs to dehydration, and, like Burroughs, made the “serendipal” discovery of finding a forest frog in winter in a shallow hiding place under leaves. But Schmid’s discovery soon turned the conventional wisdom upside down, mainly due to his second observation: when he took the animal in his hands, he noticed that it did not do what frogs usually do in human hands, namely, they do not blink. Looks like the frog was frozen.

Wood frog (Rana sylvatica)

Since Schmid had previously found that different frog species are quite well adapted to survive each in their own specific habitat, the scientist doubted that the animal he found had made a fatal mistake and not dug deep enough or chose a bad place to spend the winter. He trusted his intuition, which told him that a frozen frog might still be alive, and so came the now classic study of frog survival in the cold. Schmid published his paper in the prestigious journal Science under the modest title Survival of Frogs in Low Temperatures.

To the best of my knowledge, this paper was the first to describe freeze tolerance as a winter survival strategy in vertebrates. Perhaps Burroughs couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the frog blinking under the frozen foliage, sitting on the frost-hardened ground. According to his description, he found the frog in such conditions that it, too, should have been frozen. For most animals, freezing is certain death.

Kenneth and Janet Storey at Carleton University in Ottawa picked up the freeze tolerance research banner and investigated the physiological basis of this phenomenon in frogs. They confirmed and extended Schmid’s discovery, and we now know that several types of hibernating frogs are common in North America – wood frog, variable tree frog, whistling tree frog, and three-band tree frog ( Pseudacris triseriata ), which are resistant to freezing.

In such frogs, ice forms in the body cavity and intercellular space (up to 65% of the water in the body can turn into ice in the forest frog), but in those who survive, ice crystals do not form in the cells themselves. Usually, if ice crystals appear in a cell, it is deadly: sharp as a knife, they cut through membranes, pierce organelles and destroy the cell. The lethal temperature threshold for a frog is only -8 ° C, because at temperatures below this, ice still begins to form in the cells. But in places where forest frogs spend the winter, under leaves and snow, the temperature rarely drops below. (Where the whistling, three-striped, and variable tree frogs hibernate is not entirely known. In the autumn, I often hear whistling tree frogs whistle in the forest, so, apparently, they hibernate somewhere. A colleague told me that he found a variable tree frog under the departed from a tree with bark, while another employee had an animal prepared to spend the winter in a flower pot, which she brought into the house in the fall.)

All four species of frogs mentioned, wintering on the surface of the earth, are able to survive if half of the water in their body turns into ice, but this is not possible without chemicals that solve two main problems. One compound (most often the alcohol glycerol) protects the membranes when the frog freezes, while the other (mainly glucose) participates primarily (but not exclusively) in the osmotic reaction, due to which ice is formed only outside the cells.

However, unlike many insects that harden in the cold, which also use alcohols and sugars and soak their tissues with them before winter, frogs do not accumulate these substances in the body in autumn before freezing. They wait for ice to form, and then in one day they rebuild and become frost-resistant. Frogs gain the ability to tolerate freezing through a modified adrenaline fear response found in other vertebrates, such as humans.

All vertebrates have a physiological fight-or-flight response when information from the senses about a threat, say, an attacking lion, causes the release of the hormone adrenaline from the adrenal glands. Adrenaline causes a variety of effects, but in general they add up to the readiness of the body to withstand the situation. The heartbeat accelerates, the level of glucose in the blood rises, more blood flows to the muscles. This adrenaline response in forest frogs has changed in such a way as to withstand freezing, which is fatal to all aquatic frogs and, of course, to humans.

When the first ice crystals begin to form on or inside the wood frog’s skin, an alarm response is triggered. Skin receptors relay the freezing message to the central nervous system (CNS), and the CNS activates the adrenal medulla to release adrenaline into the bloodstream. Entering the liver, adrenaline activates enzymes in it that convert glycogen stores in this organ into glucose. As a result, the frog reacts with a sharp increase in blood glucose. In the wood frog, this is a very powerful reaction, and before the ice reaches the cells, they are filled with glucose, which acts as a cryoprotectant.

Exactly the opposite happens outside, in the space between cells, where special proteins induce the formation of ice crystals and stimulate its formation in areas of low concentration of liquid. As a result, chambers of concentrated liquid are formed, which, by osmosis, draw water out of the cells, and they become even more resistant to the formation of ice. After about 15 hours, the frog is frozen to a solid state, except for the internal contents of the cells. The heart stops. The blood doesn’t flow. There is no breathing. In almost every way, the animal is dead. But ready to come back to life.

Glucose is a common sugar in the blood of vertebrates, from which cells obtain energy. In a healthy, active animal, blood glucose levels are normally precisely regulated by two hormones, insulin and glucagon. When there is not enough glucose in the blood, a person faints, and when there is too much, he suffers from a number of short and long-term consequences. Normally, a person’s blood glucose level is maintained at about 90 mg per 100 ml of blood, but in a stressful situation this level rises slightly. If the blood glucose level is elevated and chronically kept at a level of about 140 mg per 100 ml of blood, a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is made. Today, diabetes can be treated by injecting artificial insulin, a hormone that, in one version of the disease, comes from the pancreas in insufficient quantities (in type 1 diabetes, the pancreas is destroyed as a result of an autoimmune reaction [1], in type 2 diabetes, the susceptibility of receptors in the body to hormone or not enough).

When a frog senses that ice crystals are starting to form in just one toe of its paw, its blood glucose reaches a level that would send a human into a coma and the next world several times (in a reaction that looks like a hyper-anxiety reaction, frogs secrete up to 4500 mg of glucose per 1 dl of blood). But the frog is able to endure it, partly because its body temperature is close to zero at that moment and its metabolism is relatively inert, so this is the ticket that ensures its survival and tolerance to freezing.

If the frog’s metabolism continued to function in the body, soon after its heart and breathing stopped, its tissues would begin to experience oxygen starvation. But glucose at high concentrations acts as a cryoprotectant, mechanically protecting tissues from ice crystal formation, and as an agent that helps draw water out of cells. It also lowers the already very low aerobic metabolism of the animal and suppresses the metabolism, allowing the cells to store limited energy stores for the winter. Penetrating into cells, glucose also becomes a substrate for anaerobic metabolism when oxygen stops flowing into the body.

To freeze the body and bring it back to life by defrosting is an old blue dream of cryobiologists. Frogs hibernating on the ground in the forest do this regularly: with the onset of spring, when it is time to mate, they come out of freezing. Like the bears in the winter dream, which I will talk about later, frogs are a miracle of nature and can shake our ideas about the limits of the possible.
