Abstract

The environment changes seasonally in most parts of the earth. Low temperature in winter is an important environmental factor in the survival of invertebrates. Cold tolerance in invertebrates has been extensively studied in arthropods, mainly insects. On the other hand, the mechanisms of seasonal adaptation, including overwintering strategy, in terrestrial mollusks, especially slugs have not been well understood. This paper introduces the researches of life cycle and cold tolerance in the terrestrial slug, Ambigolimax valentianus. In addition, previous studies of cold tolerance in other terrestrial slugs are briefly reviewed.
