... Feeding Temperature effects Ballistic movement Ectotherm Changes in temperature present a significant challenge to organisms, especially ectotherms; low temperature can result in substantial decreases in ecologically relevant performance such as predator escape and feeding ( Huey and Bennett...

... of the projector muscle increase at low temperatures. Over 24–36°C, thermal effects on motor control and muscle contractile properties declined, indicating that temperature effects are more extreme across lower temperature ranges. Over the entire 14–36°C range, intensity of muscle activity for the tongue muscles...

...Kenneth P. Murphy; Yan Zhao; Masataka Kawai ABSTRACT Recent advances in protein chemistry and the kinetic analysis of tension transients in skeletal muscle fibres have enabled us to elucidate the molecular forces involved in force generation by cross-bridges. On the basis of the temperature effect...
