the blind non-pigmented soil dwelling collembolan Folsomia candida
(Willem). Study I explored the impacts of UV-B irradiation
on movement and egg laying patterns of adult F. candida. Study
II investigated the effects of UV-B on the life history and physiology
(e.g., mortality, fecundity, egg viability, gestation period, and
instar duration) of F. candida. Study III determined the degree of UVB
induced DNA damage (thymine dimer formation) on F. candida
exposed to different intensities and times of irradiation
