Information
Ecological parameter: aquatic stages
Parameter group: life & body related parameters
Explanation:
The parameter provides information on the aquatic stages of species. These comprise egg, larva and nymph in case of incomplete metamorphosis (hemimetabolism). The complete metamorphosis includes egg, larva and pupa (holometabolism). Adults that are not living in the terrestrial environment are included in the respective category. The numbers in the specific categories correspond to the percental duration the species spends in this life stage.
Classification system: 10 point assignment system
