Many land snails are vulnerable to climate change as a consequence of small distribution ranges and poor dispersal. South America is a diverse region in terms of land snail fauna, but studies about…
Larval survival strategy during winter of Chordodes nobilii Camerano, 1901 (Gordiida, Nematomorpha)
- F. Zanca, C. Villalobos, A. Rumi
- BiologyActa Parasitologica
- 1 December 2007
It is demonstrated that egg development of Chordodesnobilii takes 20–25 days at 22°C and 45–55 days at 5°C, and that larvae of C. nobilii obtained from egg strings at 5 °C and maintained at that temperature during six months remained inside their egg shells as a survival strategy.
