Aspects of the breeding biology of Janaira gracilis Moreira & Pires (Crustacea, Isopoda, Asellota)

Abstract: The biological aspects of incubating females of Janaira gracilis Mbreira & Pires, are described. The marsupium is formed by 4 pairs of oostegites arising from pereopods I-IV. The oostegites appear for the first time at the post-marsupial stage 7 (preparatory stage 1), growing successively at each moult until stage 9 (brooding stage 1), when they reach fully development. The sizes of the eggs increase with the body size of the females. The number of eggs, per female, is a linear function of the body volume,… Show more

“…Entre duas reproduções sucess~vas a fêmea não deve passar por um período de repouso, pois não foram encontrados animais com comprimento superior a 1,80 mm sem oostégitos. Após a reprodução, a fêmea morre ou perde o marsúpio flácido, adquirindo oostégitos incipientes através da muda seguinte (Pires, 1975;Moreira & Pires, 1977). Em Eugerda te tarda e Chelator insignis (Asellota) as fêmeas também entram em novo ciclo reprodutivo sem período de repouso, adquirindo oostégitos através de muda, logo após a liberação dos JO-vens (Hessler, 1970).…”
