THE STUDY OF THE BEHAVIOR OF COLLEMBOLA (COLLEMBOLA) IN LABORATORY CONDITIONS
Abstract
The article provides an overview of the accumulated over 30 years of experience in the experimental study of ethology and trophic activity of Collembola in laboratory conditions. The General characteristics of the main methods of studying various types of behavior and feeding habits of Collembola, belonging to different life forms. The technique for direct observations of individuals in zooculture. Describes the method of using artificial culture medium used for the maintenance of fruit flies, as food for Collembola in the long-term concentrations in the laboratory. Illuminated by the author's method of obtaining viable zooculture, creating them in an active state for decades. Explores the unique method of applying timestamp in vivo for study of individual behaviour of Collembola, also highlights the results of using the method of Dyce in the study of the spatial distribution of these invertebrates.
