Allometry of evaporative water loss in marsupials: Implications of the effect of ambient relative humidity on the physiology of brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula)

Allometry of evaporative water loss in marsupials: Implications of the effect of ambient relative humidity on the physiology of brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula)

To better understand the effects of ambient relative humidity (RH) on physiological variables and the implications of RH-correcting evaporative water loss (EWL) data for marsupials, we examined the effect of RH on EWL, body temperature (Tb), metabolic rate (MR) and thermal conductance (C) of the bru...
