Some of these examples may show the adjective use. On primary exposure they observed an inflammatory reaction provoked by developing larvae, their excretory/secretory products and sheaths left behind after moulting. This indicates that cold temperatures act as an inhibitor by which larvae are held back at a moulting barrier. Variations in extent of lectin binding within populations may be related to moulting. Other changes in the culture medium resulted in reduced moulting and survival times compared with the pepsin-added media. Note that all moulting and oviposition periods of the main cohorts are in summer. The terminal parts of these sensory structures were shed at moulting. Occasionally, larvae were found in the process of or having just completed moulting. Feeding was suspended when larvae showed moulting behaviour. We did not observe behaviour associated with moulting at the end of either stage. The number of days after birth on which mortality, moulting to each immature instar, adult moult, and birth of first offspring occurred were recorded. Physiological disturbances, such as incomplete moulting and metamorphosis, were variable in the two periods studied. Some elephant seals also occur on the island outside the breeding/moulting period but excreta production at that period has not been measured. In contrast to interstadial transmission, in which a tick moulting period is needed, interrupted feeding enables rapid viral transmission to the second host. These factors included rainfall, predators (vespid wasps), parasitoids, pathogens and physiological factors (observed as incomplete moulting and malformation). Moulting allows nematodes to adapt to their parasitic mode of life. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
