Fig. 1. Whole-body water of (A) control flies prior to and following 8 h of desiccation, and following recovery on distilled H₂O, saline solution or saline+sucrose solution, and (B) desiccation-resistant flies prior to and following 24 h of desiccation, and following recovery on distilled H₂O, saline solution or saline+sucrose solution. Values are means ± S.E.M. of five populations each. Non-matching letters above the columns denote statistically significant differences among treatments.
