Drought frequency in tropical regions is predicted to increase with climate change, and small ectotherms are often under a strong desiccation risk. We tested hypotheses regarding the underexplored desiccation potential of tropical insects. We measured desiccation resistance in 82 ant species from a Panama rainforest by recording the time ants can survive desiccation stress. Species' desiccation resistance ranged from 0.7\u00a0h to 97.9\u00a0h. We tested the desiccation adaptation hypothesis, which predicts higher desiccation resistance in habitats with higher vapor pressure deficit (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">VPD<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ) \u2013 the drying power of the air. In a Panama rainforest, canopy microclimates averaged a\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">VPD<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    of 0.43\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">kP<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    a, compared to a\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">VPD<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    of 0.05\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">kP<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    a in the understory. Canopy ants averaged desiccation resistances 2.8 times higher than the understory ants. We tested a number of mechanisms to account for desiccation resistance. Smaller insects should desiccate faster given their higher surface area to volume ratio. Desiccation resistance increased with ant mass, and canopy ants averaged 16% heavier than the understory ants. A second way to increase desiccation resistance is to carry more water. Water content was on average 2.5% higher in canopy ants, but total water content was not a good predictor of ant desiccation resistance or critical thermal maximum (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CT<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    <jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>\n                    ), a measure of an ant's thermal tolerance. In canopy ants, desiccation resistance and\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CT<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    <jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>\n                    were inversely related, suggesting a tradeoff, while the two were positively correlated in understory ants. This is the first community level test of desiccation adaptation hypothesis in tropical insects. Tropical forests do contain desiccation\u2010resistant species, and while we cannot predict those simply based on their body size, high levels of desiccation resistance are always associated with the tropical canopy.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.2355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,8]],"date-time":"2016-08-08T14:29:33Z","timestamp":1470666573000},"page":"6282-6291","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":136,"title":["Desiccation resistance in tropical insects: causes and mechanisms underlying variability in a Panama ant community"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Jelena","family":"Bujan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Oklahoma Norman Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen P.","family":"Yanoviak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology University of Louisville Louisville Kentucky"},{"name":"Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Balboa Republic of Panama"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Kaspari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Oklahoma Norman Oklahoma"},{"name":"Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Balboa Republic of Panama"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1931468"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1365-2656.12388"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004420000449"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2390211"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/acprof:oso\/9780198515494.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/9781400836178"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1446033"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0709472105"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2486.2011.02542.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00344973"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1503231112"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-1910(02)00059-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.00233"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinsphys.2011.05.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.204.13.2331"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.200.12.1821"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","volume-title":"Water relations of terrestrial arthropods","author":"Hadley N.
