Treatment conditions for laboratory dehydration assays. Temperature was maintained in a growth chamber on a 12-h light/12-h dark cycle. Relative humidity was verified using a HOBO™ data logger with sensors attached. All assays were 22 h long. Vapour pressure deficit indicates the relative intensity of the combined temperature and relative humidity during the assay
