Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1993) 176 (1): 233–246.
Published: 1 March 1993
... supports a physiological coupling between pleon NH 3 volatilization and active water vapour absorption. Pleon fluid and haemolymph pH values are similar, discounting a role of alkalization in NH 3 volatilization. Published rates of ammonia excretion are compatible with intermittent volatilization from...

Osmolality and Electrolyte Composition of Pleon Fluid in Porcellio Scaber (Crustacea, Isopqda, Oniscidea): Implications for Water Vapour Absorption
Available to Purchase
Journal:
Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1992) 164 (1): 189–203.
Published: 1 March 1992
...Jonathan C. Wright; Michael J. O’Donnell ABSTRACT Active water vapour absorption in Porcellio scaber is associated with the endogenous production of strongly hyperosmotic fluid in the pleoventral chamber (pleoventralraum; PV). Pre-desiccated animals show increased pleon fluid secretion within 1–2...

Water Vapour Absorption in Terrestrial Isopods
Available to Purchase
Journal:
Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1990) 154 (1): 13–30.
Published: 1 November 1990
...Jonathan C. Wright; John Machin ABSTRACT Continuous and intermittent gravimetric measurements have identified active water vapour absorption (WVA) in three species of terrestrial Isopoda. Water activity thresholds for uptake lie in the range 0.92–0.95. Above the threshold, WVA shows non-saturated...
