Abstract
The feather miteProctophyllodes troncatus Robin takes up water vapour from subsaturated atmospheres down to relative humidities between 55% and 60%. Vapour uptake increases with rising humidity of the surrounding air and the time to attain maximum water gain decreases.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
