Soil dwelling (euedaphic) Collembola have evolved to live in soil pores where the atmosphere is saturated with water vapour. Here we show that reproduction in the euedaphic Folsomia candida ceases during drought where soil water potentials are lower than -7 bar (similar to 99.4% RH). Recovery of the moulting cycle after cessation of drought showed increasing delay with increasing previous drought pressure. However, reproduction was rapidly resumed. Only in F. candida recovering from the most severe drought (-55 bar, 96% RH) was the time lapse between drought and resumed reproduction significantly different from the control (99.4% RH). Furthermore, the final numbers of eggs were unaffected by the degree of drought exposure. Hence, these results suggest that while even very mild drought will stop the reproductive cycle, subsequent recovery is rapid and complete. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
