title: [Effect of gamma irradiation on the preference behavior and lipid metabolism in grey garden slug Deroceras reticulatum Mull].
abstract: We studied the preference behavior of slugs Deroceras reticulatum in experimental light, thermal, and salt gradients. The zone of each gradients preferred by the majority of individuals had the lowest contents of total lipids and total fatty acids in the tissues as compared to animals in any other zones. Hard gamma irradiation of slugs D. reticulatum proved to induce qualitative changes in salt preference, to decrease photoresponse in light gradients, and to increase lipid content in tissues.
