The tiger beetle Cicindela oregona  has a distribution that extends from Arizona through the temperate rain forests of Alaska. Why should the amounts of cuticular hydrocarbons vary geographically among populations of C. oregona? Describe how water loss is related to the habitats this beetle is found in. How would you predict the habitat of this beetle changes across this latitudinal range and why?  Explain the relationship between water and temperature regulation in terrestrial organisms?
