Scaleless Bearded Dragons Evaporate More Water Than the Ones with Normal Scalation
Different water evaporation intensivity between scaleless bearded dragons and normally scaled reptiles was discovered by scientists on the example of bearded dragons.
In this study, we set out to test two hypotheses.
First, we hypothesized that scales are indeed a barrier to evaporative water loss, and so leatherbacks and silkbacks would have higher rates of evaporative water loss than wild-types.
Second, we hypothesized that, because of this increased rate of evaporative water loss, leatherbacks and silkbacks would have lower thermal preferences than wild-types.
