Abstract
A previous study on the population structure of some species of surface dwelling Collembola provided data on growth, longevity and repro- ductive activity of the species in the field (JoossE, 1969). To obtain more detailed information about the growth structure, particularly in relation to moulting and reproduction, this was studied in the laboratory. As growth and reproduction are temperature dependent, investigations were carried out at different temperatures. The results of these laboratory experiments, together with the field data, provided a further insight into collembolan life-cycles.
