Physiological responses of a rodent to heliox reveal constancy of evaporative water loss under perturbing environmental conditions

Total evaporative water loss of endotherms is assumed to be determined essentially by biophysics, at least at temperatures below thermoneutrality, with evaporative water loss determined by the water vapor deficit between the animal and the ambient air. We present here evidence, based on the first me...
