Abstract
The number of tracheal gills in the larval Limnephilini varies according to oxygen conditions of the surrounding waters. High proportions of oxygen cause a significant decrease in the number of gills, whereas low oxygen concentrations retult in a significant increase in the number of gills. These morphological adapations are related to moult.Entities:
