Subject field(s)
  • Animal Behaviour
  • Insects, Centipedes, Spiders, and Scorpions
CONT

The condition of larval inhibition (hypobiosis) is thought to be analogous to diapause in insects and serves to allow [Ostertagia] ostertagi [medium or brown stomach worm] to avoid the harmful effects of winter in the northern hemisphere and the hot summer conditions in the south.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Comportement animal
  • Insectes, mille-pattes, araignées et scorpions
CONT

Lorsque les conditions sont défavorables (hiver des pays tempérés et méditerranéens, ou saison sèche des pays tropicaux) les larves de premier stade entrent en hypobiose : leur développement est alors interrompu en attendant l'amélioration climatique. Ce comportement adaptatif se répercute sur la démographie saisonnière des larves infestantes chez le mouton.
