Like other penguins , it undergoes an annual molt , replacing all its feathers in a few weeks .

和其他企鹅一样，它也经历一年一次的脱毛，在几周时间里替换掉所有的羽毛。

At the end of their laying cycle they are either slaughtered or forced to molt by water and food deprivation , which shocks them into another layer cycle .

在其产蛋周期结束后，它们要么被屠宰，要么用缺水和食物来迫使它们换毛，使它们因害怕而进入另一个产蛋周期。

They are active at night and live for many years , and females molt after maturity .

他们是在夜间活动，多年来生活，女性成熟后脱皮。

This is the last instar larval stage , which describes the times between each molt ( after an insect sheds its exoskeleton in order to grow ) until the insect reaches sexual maturity .

它正处于老熟幼虫期，即从蜕壳（为了长大昆虫必须脱掉外骨骼）到性成熟的这段时间。

The peptides eclosion hormone ( eh ) and ecdysis-triggering hormone ( eth ) trigger ecdysis behaviors and other physiological changes which occur at the end of the molt .

羽化激素与蜕皮触发激素诱发昆虫蜕皮行为及蜕皮末期的其它生理变化。
