Fig. 2

a Shows organismal water content as a function of environmental water availability and the drying parameters that can be varied (rate of drying, intensity of drying, time in the dry state and rate of rehydration). Boxes in b show examples of measurements that can be performed in organismal biology, physiology, cell biology, and multi-omics. Pre-measurement conditions and data integration are important additional considerations. Illustrations in (a) by Rachel Torrez.
