When specimens of Limax maximus L. are dehydrated alone or in groups of three or five, they exhibit an increase in locomotor activity but no increase in huddling behavior (i.e., the formation of aggregations of several slugs) when compared with hydrated animals. The extent of the dehydration-induced
