摘要: The moult cycle of Porcellio scaber was studied in order to determine the typical shape sternal calcium deposits during premoult. Males and non-breeding females were observed for 13 weeks. According appearance, size, deposits, premoult divided into three substages which occurred all animals investigated. easiest least disturbing way stage isopods routine experiments is identify one substages. duration both sexes approximately 33 days, with greater variation females. proposed procedure determination simple rapid.
