The active uptake mechanism would then have to operate either more frequently
or for longer periods , taxing even further the energy reserves . Experiments to
determine if changes in the transpiration rates occur with age or with chronic ...

The hypothesis which is currently used to explain water vapor uptake by ticks
involves the secretion of a fluid from the type I acini of the salivary glands at
irregular intervals . This fluid is thought to have hygroscopic properties which
allow it to ...
