Abstract
Effects of varying levels (4–132 krad) of gamma radiation on moulting, feeding, co-ordination and locomotion, and wing development in Forficula auricularia L. are described and illustrated. A "radiation profile" shows the increased radiosensitivity of nymphs as compared to adult F. auricularia.Keywords
