Zaragoza and others (2015), who reported on the terrestrial habitat use of Western Pond Turtles inhabiting ephemeral ponds in the Sierra Foothills, suggested limiting grazing activities to the time periods when the turtles are resident in the water (late winter through spring in their study) to ensure that the turtles are not disturbed when using their terrestrial habitat for nesting,
aestivation, and overwintering.
Aestivation was induced by removing snails from water and placing them in individual uncovered petri dishes in air at 20 [degrees]C to 21 [degrees]C.
Effects of body size and water temperature on food consumption and growth in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka) with special reference to
aestivation. Aquacult.
Their phytopolyphagous diet, perfect adaptability to extreme cold and hot environments by way of
aestivation (h) coupled with high reproductive efficiency make this species cosmopolitan in distribution [3].
1972) can enter periods of
aestivation, thereby, enhancing adult snail survival to 395 and 526 days, respectively.
Calyx gamosepalous, campanulate, tubular, spathaceous or urceolate, apex spatulate, bilabiate, truncate or 2-5-lobed,
aestivation imbricate, with or without patelliform nectaries.
Aestivation of Californian mason spiders, Historical Society of Southern California, Los Angeles 1(3): 18-22.
Hibernation, diapauses and
aestivation constitute three important adaptive responses adopted by many organisms to escape deteriorating environmental conditions.
The forty pages include various strategies such as hibernation and
aestivation, and also cover cloning, DNA, long-living legends, extinction and 'ultimate survivors '.
The first deals with ephemeral wetlands and, for each major group of animals, Romanowski explains how they colonise anew wetland and then survive its demise by moving on or by adopting some drought-tolerant mechanism such as encysting,
aestivation or deep burial.
Corolla pentamerous, gamopetalous and caducous, with valvate
aestivation, presumably rotate and reflexed.
However, other remains are due to mortality during hibernation or
aestivation in the cave, as in the case of bats (Sevilla, 1986), or to human commensalism (Pokines, 1998; Eastham, 1995).
The earthworm's annual cycle is markedly seasonal, with an
aestivation period throughout the driest and coldest season of the year.
Aestivation (summer diapause) in Hyperia postica (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), II.
This research suggests that short periods of dormancy, called
aestivation, in addition to burrowing behavior, may have been a crucial adaptation that allowed mammal ancestors to survive the P-T extinction.
