... the alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata , we aimed to determine if oxygen consumption could be measured using a new system and to test the hypothesis that female and male M. rotundata have a thermal performance curve with a wide optimal range. Oxygen consumption of M. rotundata pupae was measured...

... attributed. Summary: Walking after a stroke may be energetically consuming. Here, we show how compensations and asymmetries may contribute to increasing the amount of work needed to walk following a stroke. Stroke Gait Oxygen consumption Mechanics Energetics Rehabilitation Focal...

... and oxygen consumption rate (VO 2 ) were determined in snakeheads with either normal or injured suprabranchial organs. Some hematological and biochemical parameters were assessed during aerial exposure. The results showed that resting VO 2 decreased when switching from water to air in both the control...

... by temperature, feeding, and exhaustive exercise affect its survival in air. The results demonstrated that the oxygen consumption rate (MO 2 ) of the snakehead was lower for aerial respiration than aquatic respiration by 12.1, 24.5 and 20.4% at 20, 25, and 30°C, respectively. Survival time was significantly...

..., insects often show marked sexual dimorphism (larger females). Thus, in this study on D. melanogaster , we characterized the effects of fly density and sex on both mass-specific routine oxygen consumption ( V̇O 2 ) and hypoxia tolerance (P Crit ). Females had significantly lower routine V̇O 2 (∼4 µl O 2 mg...

... limits Oxygen consumption Haemolymph protein Temperature is an important factor that affects the patterns of geographic distribution and abundance of ectothermic organisms ( Terblanche et al., 2011 ). The thermal tolerance boundaries in organisms are determined by the combination...
