Cuticle Hydrocarbons Show Plastic Variation under Desiccation in Saline Aquatic Beetles
In the context of aridification in Mediterranean regions, desiccation resistance and physiological plasticity will be key traits for the persistence of aquatic insects exposed to increasing desiccation stress. Control of cuticular transpiration through changes in the quantity and composition of epic...
