COLD-INDUCED APOLYSIS IN ANECDYSIAL BRACHYURANS

open access: yesThe Biological Bulletin, 1986
Several integumentary tissues of brachyuran crabs separate from the exoskeleton (undergo apolysis) when exposed to low temperatures (0°C) for one hour or longer. Apolysis did not occur in crabs held at room temperature for the same length of time following the destruction of the subesophageal ganglia i.e., the phenomenon was not due to the death of the
