Water relations and drought sensitivity of Folsomia candida eggs (Collembola: Isotomidae)
Open accessAbstract
Drought tolerance of juvenile and adult life stages is relatively well understood, but very little is known about the tolerance of eggs to drought in this group of animals. The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the water relations and drought sensitivity of eggs of the hygrophilic springtail, Folsomia candida Willem, 1902 (Isotomidae), exposed to a range of soil water potentials above and below the permanent wilting point of plants (-1.5 MPa). Under saturated conditions, eggs absorbed water during development and increased water content from 1.1 to 2.9 mg mg-1 dry weight. By increasing drought conditions, water absorption was gradually reduced and was nullified approximately at the soil water potential equivalent to the osmolality of egg fluids (630 mOsm corresponding to -1.53 MPa). Eggs had a lower permeability for water (68 ± 13 µg water cm-2 h-1 mm Hg-1) than adults (about 400 µg water cm-2 h-1 mm Hg-1), but eggs were much more sensitive to drought than adults. Eggs did not survive exposure to -1.5 MPa, whereas adults readily survive this level of drought by absorbing water vapour. In conclusion, eggs of F. candida are sensitive to drought and would perish if soil water potential in the field approaches the wilting point of plants, which is often reached during summer droughts. The persistence of this species depends on the survival of post-embryonic life stages.

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.
