Popis:	1. 1. Seasonal acclimatization effects on oxygen consumption, body temperature, and body weight were evaluated in three different experimental groups of Dipodomys panamintinus. 2. 2. Body weights of wild field as well as captive animals housed in outdoor sand cages were maximum in winter and lowest in summer for both sexes. 3. 3. Mean oxygen consumption was maximum in winter and lowest during spring in both sexes of the wild field and captive exposed groups. 4. 4. Neither weight nor oxygen consumption of indoor control animals varied with the seasons. 5. 5. No significant differences in body temperatures were observed during either the fall or winter seasons.
