Abstract

The relationship between body size and age in two species of Collembola, Folsomia Candida and Xenylla grisea, was studied in three temperature regimes. Power curves were used to describe length as a function of age for each species-temperature combination. Growth parameters (slopes of the log-log curves) and length at hatch (log intercepts) were compared by multiple regression. There was a strong non-linear effect of temperature on growth in the range normally encountered.

Résumé

Nous avons étudié la relation entre l’âge et la taille corporelle chez deux espèces de collembole, Folsomia Candida et Xenylla grisea. Les trois régimes de température utilisés font partie de l’étendue à laquelle ces espèces sont normalement exposées. Pour chaque combinaison d’espèce et de température, des courbes géométriques sont utilisées pour définir la longueur en fonction de l’âge. Nous avons ensuite comparé par régression multiple les paramètres de croissance (pentes des courbes log-log) et la longueur à la naissance (log des points d’intersection). Nous avons observé un effet non-linéaire important de la température sur la croissance.
