Resting metabolic rates have been measured and compared with hepatic mitochondrial respiration in Kwashiorkor and diet-induced obese weaned rats. In Kwashiorkor, resting metabolic rate was 21% lower than the value of controls, while that of the obese

1. 1. Three adult dik-dik antelopes with an average weight of 4.5 kg were used to investigate the rate of oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) during exercise and the entrainment of respiratory rate with stride frequencies at running velocities between 2–11

In controlled laboratory conditions, oxygen uptake, rectal temperature, total and respiratory evaporative water loss, and respiratory frequencies in the slender mongoose (Herpestes sanguineus) were measured at ambient temperatures of 5, 10, 20, 26, 3

1. 1. Carabid beetles have rates of transpiratory water loss and metabolic rates which are higher than those of tenebrionid beetles. Within each family, dry habitat beetles have lower rates of water loss than beetles from mesic or hygric habitats, bu

1. O2-consumption (O2), rectal temperature (Tre) and heart rate were measured in two adult springhares (♂,♀; body mass 2.2–2.4 kg) at ambient temperatures (Ta) from 6–35 °C. Abdominal temperature in the female and heart rate in both anima

The rates of water loss and humidity preference of carabids from dry tropical habitats have been studied and compared with corresponding data from temperate carabids and tropical tenebrionids. Within each group of beetles the rate of relative water l

East African tenebrionid beetles of the species Zophosis congesta are active on sun-exposed surfaces in dry habitats during the hottest part of the day, when most other animals have retreated to protected areas. They remain on the surface at ambient

1. 1. When tenebrionid beetles of the species Phrynocolus petrosus undergo evaporative dehydration, the relative water content changes less than is predictable from the water loss alone. The discrepancy from the predictable change is apparently due t

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the maximal rate of oxygen consumption (Vo2max) is scaled proportionally to Mb1.0, as the diffusing capacity of the lung, or proportionally to Mb0.75, as the standardized resting rate of oxygen consu

Two species of galagos (G. senegalensis moholi andG. garnettii) were subjected to dehydration and starvation stress in order to determine whether, as is common in other animals, these hypometabolic prosimians would lower their metabolic rate even fur
