...Chihiro Kinoshita; Ayaka Saito; Kentaro Q. Sakamoto; Yasuaki Niizuma; Katsufumi Sato ABSTRACT Heart rates of air-breathing diving animals can change on a short time scale due to the diving response during submergence. Heart rate is used frequently as a proxy for indirectly estimating metabolic...

..., respectively] with no differences between 23°C and 13°C ( P >0.05). Heart rate and mean skin temperature responses in the 33°C condition increased throughout the walking trial compared to 23°C and 13°C (all P <0.05). These results suggest that an acutely hot environment slowed the ES by ∼7...

... morphology and physiology in the growing larva is poorly understood. Consequently, we investigated the influence of water temperature on cardiac plasticity in developing mahi-mahi. Morphological (e.g. standard length, heart angle) and physiological cardiac variables (e.g. heart rate f H , stroke volume...
