...John R. B. Lighton ABSTRACT A central controversy in the field of insect ventilation is the effect of the discontinuous ventilation cycle (DVC) on respiratory water loss rates. An accurate method of measuring water loss rates during the ventilation cycle would provide a direct means of resolving...

..., if the ant was active ( Fig. 3 ). Insect ventilation is generally sensitive to changes in behaviour ( Weber & Caillere, 1978 ; Lighton, 1985 , 1987 ). Ants of smaller body mass also showed periodic CO 2 emissions, but remained consistently active in the respirometer chamber. As data on CO 2 emission...
