Opposite changes in the resistance to cold and desiccation, which occur during the development of the millipede Polydesmus angustus (Diplopoda: Polydesmidae)

Supercooling point (SCP), survival at low temperatures, rate of water loss in dry air at 20°C and survival under desiccating conditions of eggs of Polydesmus angustus (Diplopoda) were determined. The results were compared with those obtained previously for the eight post-embryonic stadia, to obtain...
