Desiccation resistance in tropical insects: causes and mechanisms underlying variability in a Panama ant community
Desiccation resistance, the ability of an organism to reduce water loss, is an essential trait in arid habitats. Drought frequency in tropical regions is predicted to increase with climate change, and small ectotherms are often under a strong desiccation risk. We tested hypotheses regarding the unde...
