Energetic and physiological correlates of prey handling and ingestion in lizards and snakes
(2001-03-19)
In this review, we summarize the energetic and physiological correlates of prey handling and ingestion in lizards and snakes. There were marked differences in the magnitude of aerobic metabolism during prey handling and ...

Metabolic rates and thermoregulatory characteristics of Akodon azarae (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae)
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2000)
Resting metabolic rates of two orbweb spiders: A first approach to evolutionary success of ecribellate spiders
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011)
Spiders are considered conservative with regard to their resting metabolic rate, presenting the same allometric relation with body mass as the majority of land-arthropods. Nevertheless, web-building is thought to have a ...

Effects of temperature and meal size on the postprandial metabolic response of Leptodactylus latrans (Anura, Leptodactylidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-10-15)
The postprandial increment of metabolism, often referred to as specific dynamic action (SDA), encompasses the summed costs of meal ingestion, digestion, absorption, and assimilation. Different SDA parameters, such as its ...
Basal rate of metabolism and temperature regulation of two desert herbivorous octodontid rodents: Octomys mimax and Tympanoctomys barrerae
(Springer-Verlag, 1990)
We studied the energetics of two herbivorous desert rodents from South America. The two species had slightly lower basal metabolic rates, lower thermal conductances, and higher temperature differentials than those expected ...
Meal size and specific dynamic action in the rattlesnake Crotalus durissus (Serpentes: Viperidae)
(1997-12-01)
We studied the effect of meal size on specific dynamic action (SDA) in the South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus, by measuring oxygen consumption rates (VO2) prior to and after the ingestion of meals ranging from ...
