Aestivation

The old man had a great deal to say about "aestivation," as he called it, in opposition, as one might say, to hibernation. ❋ Oliver Wendell Holmes (1851)

For example, in the case of seasonal land migration of certain salamanders, if the length of the corridor is greater than the characteristic travel capability of the salamander, then the corridor is ineffective in providing additional aestivation opportunities. ❋ Unknown (2010)

If all goes well (says he for whom something routinely goes wrong at least twice a week), I shall emerge from aestivation within a week, and then we shall see. ❋ Superversive (2006)

My only criticism of the paper is that the aestivation conditions in the lab were not clearly described, especially the ambient humidity was not reported. ❋ AYDIN (2006)

The cocoons made by the 2 species of frogs that were the subjects of this study, Cyclorana australis and Cyclorana cultripes, during 46 and 51 days of aestivation in the laboratory, had 34 and 32-33 layers erroneously given as 51 in the abstract, see Table 1, respectively. ❋ AYDIN (2006)

Do they keep adding layers to their cocoons during the entire aestivation period? ❋ AYDIN (2006)

I suspect there may be other reasons for group aestivation. ❋ AYDIN (2006)

During aestivation in the lab, the oxygen consumption rate of Cyclorana cultripes fell significantly by 70%. ❋ AYDIN (2006)

I have written about the aestivation of land snails during the hot and dry Mediterranean summers. ❋ AYDIN (2006)

Oncomelania snails are amphibious, and therefore environmental risk factors for japonicum schistosomiasis differ markedly from those of the other parasite species, whose intermediate hosts are strictly aquatic, even though they survive periods of drought for periods up to twelve months, a phenomenon known as aestivation. ❋ Unknown (1996)

They numbered about 100,000 Arkonides who had started out thousands of years ago but had fallen into a biological deepsleep or state of aestivation owing to an accident and certain unusual circumstances. ❋ Scheer, Karl (1976)

I may remark, that the aestivation of Kydia is scarcely valvate. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

Tagetes, _Sud Buruk_, is a curious genus, on account of its simple tubular involucrum, very entire and pappus florets, conduplicate in aestivation, all florets faeminine are ligulate; are the folded up ones representations of the males? ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

It is well known that within the tropics, the hybernation, or more properly aestivation, of animals is determined not by the temperature, but by the times of drought. ❋ Unknown (1909)

Again in another work he says, the genera of the Connaraceae ` differ in having one or more ovaria, in the existence or absence of albumen, in the imbricate or valvular aestivation. ❋ Unknown (1859)

Intramural aestivation, or town-life in summer, he would say, is a peculiar form of suspended existence, or semi-asphyxia. ❋ Oliver Wendell Holmes (1851)

Whilst looking for notes on the variability of the divisions of the ovarium, position of the ovules, aestivation, etc., ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
