Add to ORKGThe observations of a number of authors have shown that the spiracles of various insects are capable of graded opening. In the absence of ventilation this is termed diffusion control. Hazelhoff (1927) demonstrated diffusion control in Periplaneta: in 1 % carbon dioxide the spiracles are slightly open, 2 % causes further openin
