Water vapor absorption allows for volume expansion during molting in Armadillidiumvulgare and Porcelliodilatatus (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)
Abstract. Arthropods require periodic molting in order to grow which presents a number of challenges to terrestrial taxa. Following ecdysis, the pliant new cuticle is susceptible to buckling under gravity and requires elevated hydrostatic pressure for support. Terrestrial species also require a mech...
