Water Costs of Gas Exchange by a Speckled Cockroach and a Darkling Beetle [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Respiratory water loss during metabolic gas exchange is an unavoidable cost of living for terrestrial insects. It has been suggested to depend on several factors, such as the mode of gas exchange (convective vs. diffusive), species habitat (aridity), body size and measurement conditions (temperature). We measured this cost in terms of respiratory water
