Recovery of reproduction after drought in the soil living Folsomia candida (Collembola)
Abstract
Soil dwelling (euedaphic) Collembola have evolved to live in soil pores where the atmosphere is saturated with water vapour. Here we show that reproduction in the euedaphic Folsomia candida ceases during drought where soil water potentials are lower than −7 bar (∼99.4% RH). Recovery of the moulting cycle after cessation of drought showed increasing delay with increasing previous drought pressure. However, reproduction was rapidly resumed. Only in F. candida recovering from the most severe drought (−55 bar, 96% RH) was the time lapse between drought and resumed reproduction significantly different from the control (99.4% RH). Furthermore, the final numbers of eggs were unaffected by the degree of drought exposure. Hence, these results suggest that while even very mild drought will stop the reproductive cycle, subsequent recovery is rapid and complete.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
