We can also determine the relative importance of the different sensory modalities
for each of them ( Table 16 . 2 ) . We observe that the ixodids differ greatly from
the argasids in this respect . The latter have relatively few setaassociated ...

They pointed out that this species appears to counteract these losses as adults
by seeking environments with relative humidities above its critical equilibrium
humidity ( CEH ) and that it sought these conditions very efficiently after water
losses ...

Lancaster & McMillan ( 1955 ) noted that eggs of A . americanum failed to hatch
below a constant relative humidity of 73 % , and that unfed larvae died within 2
days of hatching at relative humidities < 60 % . The importance of ambient
