- Title
THE INFLUENCE OF MOISTURE ON THE EGGS OF AUSTROICETES CRUCIATA SAUSS. (ORTHOPTERA) WITH REFERENCE TO THEIR ABILITY TO SURVIVE DESICCATION.
- Authors

- Abstract
Cites experiments concerning the ability of the eggs of Austroicetes cruciata sauss to survive desiccation at different stages of development. Influence of the stage of development of the embryo on the ability of insect eggs to survive desiccation; Comparison on the capacity of post-diapause eggs of Melanoplus differentialis to lose water more rapidly than eggs in diapause; Presence of vitelline membrane and chorion during oviposition.
