1. Body water loss as a function of different durations of desiccation stress in Z. indianus.
Body water loss as a function of different durations of desiccation stress in Z. indianus. (A) Water loss was calculated according to Wharton's method (Wharton, 1985) for wild-caught flies (N=60) in four different seasons where mt is the water lost at time t and m0 is the initial water content. Slope values are shown for LT100. (B) Loss of body water content in control flies and in flies treated with organic solvent (hexane).
