Energy costs of subduing and swallowing prey for a lizard
(The Ecological Society of America: Ecology, 1985-10)
We measured the oxygen consumption (aerobic energy cost) and lactic acid production (anaerobic energy cost) of scincid lizards, Chalcides ocellatus, eating domestic crickets. Aerobic metabolism accounted for 90% or more ...
Metabolic correlates of anuran behavior
(Oxford University Press: American Zoologist, 1985)
Frogs exhibit extensive diversity in their repertoires of social, reproductive, defensive, and predatory behavior, and in the metabolic processes that support these activities. Three aspects of anuran biology (foraging ...
Diploid and tetraploid grey treefrogs (Hyla chrysoscelis and Hyla versicolor) have similar metabolic rates
(Elsevier: Comparative Biology and Physiology A, 1985)
We measured oxygen consumption of the diploid frog Hyla chrysoscelis and its recently evolved tetraploid cryptic species Hyla versicolor at rest and during forced locomotory exercise. We also measured whole-body lactic ...
