Insects With Survival Kits for Desiccation Tolerance Under Extreme Water Deficits
The year 2002 marked the tercentenary of Antonie van Leeuwenhoek’s discovery of desiccation tolerance in animals. This remarkable phenomenon to sustain ‘life’ in the absence of water can be revived upon return of hydrating conditions. Today, coping with climate change-related factors, especially tem...
