Larvae of the Antarctic midge Belgica antarctica Jacobs (Diptera: Chironomidae) are highly tolerant of diverse environmental stresses, including freezing, severe desiccation, and osmotic extremes. Furthermore, dehydration confers subsequent desiccation and freeze tolerance. While a role for aquaporins-channels for water and other solutes-has been proposed in these dehydration processes, the types of aquaporins involved in dehydration-driven stress tolerance remain unknown. In the present study,...
