Anhydrobiosis in nematodes: Evaporative water loss and survival
Abstract
Nematodes, Aphelenchus avenae, can be induced to become anhydrobiotic by drying in aggregates (pellets) (>90 mg wet weight) at 97% relative humidity (RH). When the rate of weight loss exceeds 3% hr−1 survival is low. The number of animals in a pellet that survive exposure to dry air increases with time at 97% RH. The time required for recovery is shortened by rehydration at high humidities before the animals are placed in water and advances with the length of time they are in dry air. The proportion of animals recovering in water that will survive rapid dehydration decreases with the time they are in water. A hypothetical scheme for the events of the induction of anhydrobiosis and recovery is presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
