Fig. 6. A strong positive relationship was observed between chloride content and hemolymph volume in the desiccation-resistant populations prior to and during desiccation (r²=0.88, P=0.001, y=0.0163x+5.123). As desiccation proceeds, hemolymph volumes move from left to right on the graph as it is drawn. Each point represents the mean ± S.E.M. of the five D populations.
