Each time the caterpillar grows bigger, it sheds its skin in a process called molting. |

When the lobster grows, it undergoes a process called molting, when the animal sheds its old exoskeleton and grows a new, larger one. |

These results are in agreement with a report from the Oregon coast of a location that is also a harbor seal molting but not pupping area. |
|
This chemical is a growth regulator that inhibits the molting process in grasshoppers. |
|
In general, healed injuries are considered to have resulted from trauma during molting or wounds by predatory attack. |
|
Thus plumage soiling not only provides instant camouflage but, unlike molting, is easily reversible. |
|
It is not long after this molting is complete that they start a second molt to acquire their alternate plumage. |
|
Both the molting process and the metamorphic transformation from larva to pupa are coordinated and regulated by hormones. |
|
All of these tissues, except the salivary gland, are considered necessary for the process of larval molting. |
|
We also excluded all individuals that were molting flight feathers and birds recaptured less than 7 days after their first capture. |
|
After incubation begins, the males migrate to molting grounds where they gather and go through a period of flightlessness. |
|
Young fish, young crabs and molting crabs have lost shelter and refuge from their predators. |
|
As no mother-pup pairs were observed, these ledges are molting but not pupping ledges. |
|
The molting style of isopods provides the final problem for the interpretation of fossil isopods. |
|
There is no clear evidence to differentiate encrustation prior to molting from postmortem encrustation on the external surface of carapaces. |
|
Now that the races are coming to an end, it's good to think a bit about the molting period. |
|
To calculate the flight-feather molt score of a molting bird, it is necessary to accurately estimate how long each flight feather will be when it is fully grown. |
|
|
And they are molting as well, Dr. Weimerskirch noted, which makes flying difficult, adding more incentive to take things easy. |
|
Additionally, molting crabs, which have soft shells and are extremely vulnerable to injury, are in much greater abundance this year. |
|
After molting into winged adults, alates group themselves in special chambers near the periphery of the nest for several days or weeks. |
|
The individual acting as a female lays eggs inside the mantle cavity shortly after molting. |
|
She has helped developed in recent years, capture techniques for molting scoters in the St. Lawrence Estuary. |
|
They also frequent specific river estuaries, which may serve as molting sites or as shelter from predators such as killer whales. |
|
McDonald's Canada does not support the practice of withdrawing food or water to induce molting in egg-laying hens. |
|
The hard exoskeleton prevents any increase in size except immediately after molting. |
|
Maturation involves 7-8 molts, and molting continues into adulthood. |
|
Juvenile hormones regulate metamorphosis and the quality of molting in insects. |
|
Your hermies need a second home to chill out in whenever they're sick or molting. |
|
Turkeys that have not been in good health or did not produce at a high rate during the laying cycle should not be considered for controlled molting. |
|
We measured molt habitat vegetation with 17 quadrats at molting sites for Wood Thrushes. |
|
Information is lacking to evaluate the likelihood of sub-lethal or physiological effects on crustaceans during pre-molt, molting and post-molt periods. |
|
Seasonal closures relate to conservation in that they limit exploitation rates, and provide protection from harvest during periods of egg-laying, molting and hatching. |
|
In another collection, Elements, a special treatment during extrusion gives the synthetic resin a matte finish that was inspired by molting crape myrtle trees. |
|
Fourth instar larvae transform into prepupae without molting. |
|
As willow ptarmigans begin molting into white plumage that conceals them in snow, singing voles build forage piles of vegetation for winter feeding. |
