Both sycamore and lime aphids live on the leaves of their respective host trees. The sycamore aphid unlike the lime aphid has the ability to adapt metabolically to changes in temperature. The difference in ability of these two tree-dwelling aphids to adapt metabolically to changes in temperature can be related to their mode of life. The sycamore aphid lives on sycamore which is native to the mountainous areas of southern and central Europe where conditions are cool. Sycamore also has a longer growth period than lime as its buds burst earlier and it sheds its leaves later. Sycamore aphids are therefore naturally exposed to a wider range of temperatures than lime aphids.
梧桐蚜和椴蚜都生活在各自寄主树的叶子上。与椴蚜不同，梧桐蚜具有在代谢上适应温度变化的能力。这两种树栖蚜虫在代谢上适应温度变化的能力差异可能与其生活方式有关。梧桐蚜生活在原产于欧洲南部和中部山区、气候凉爽的梧桐树上。梧桐的生长周期也比椴树长，因为它的芽更早开放，落叶更晚。因此，梧桐蚜自然比椴蚜暴露在更广泛的温度范围内。
