Title

Life table of the Molluscan slug Laevicaulis alte (Ferrusac 1822) (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) of Courtallam foothills, Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu, India.

Abstract

Life table studies were undertaken to understand the survival and mortality of Laevicaulis alte (Ferrusac, 1822) under laboratory conditions from December 2014 to June 2015. Matured adult slugs were brought from natural habitat and kept in simulated terraria. Eggs were deposited in mud crevices or depression in the soil a few days after mating of adult slugs. Eggs laid during warm spring tend to hatch out in approximately three weeks. The total number of eggs laid differs in different individuals. After 13 days of release in the terrarium approximately 50 slugs laid their eggs under mulched leaf debris and in the crevices of the soil of the terrarium in a depth of approximately 2.5cm. The eggs of Laevicaulis alte were transparent and pale brown in colour and oval in shape. An average total of 24 eggs were in one clutch and out of it 14 eggs hatched out into young ones. The young ones were pale brownish with body length range 0.96 ± 0.08mm and breadth 0.55 ± 0.08mm and with body weight 0.47 ± 0.07gm. Laevicaulis alte juvenile hatchlings reach sexual maturity in about 6-7 months.
