Roles of metabolic level and temperature regulation in the adjustment of Western plumed pigeons (Lophophaps ferruginea) to desert conditions
(Elsevier, 1973-02-01)
1. 1. Standard metabolic rate of western plumed pigeons (Lophophaps ferruginea) averages 0[middle dot]88 ml O2 (g hr)-1 during summer. This rate and the rate of evaporative water loss by these birds at 25[deg]C are well ...
Effects of activity and temperature on aerobic and anaerobic metabolism in the Galapagos marine iguana
(Springer-Verlag, 1975-12)
1 Standard and maximal levels of oxygen consumption, and lactate production during burst activity were determined in the Galapagos marine iguana, Amblyrhynchus cristatus . This semiaquatic lizard sustains vigorous activity ...
Aerobic and anaerobic metabolism during activity in the lizard Dipsosaurus dorsalis
(Springer-Verlag, 1972-09)
1. Oxygen consumption and lactate content of the lizard Dipsosaurus dorsalis were determined under standard conditions and for a bout of maximal activity induced by a 2-min period of electrical stimulation. Observations ...
