... at molecular and genetic levels, an understanding of fundamental higher-level physiology of this system is lacking. Here, we investigate the metabolic rate, locomotory activity, dry mass and water content of adult male flies injected with DCV, measured over the 4 days prior to virus-induced mortality. DCV...

.... Therefore, thermal tolerance of stage zoea I larvae was examined in two populations of the Chilean kelp crab Taliepus dentatus , which are separated by latitude and the thermal regime. We measured temperature-dependent activity, oxygen consumption,cardiac performance, body mass and the carbon (C...

...John K. De Witt; R. Donald Hagan; Ronita L. Cromwell SUMMARY The addition of inertia to exercising astronauts could increase ground reaction forces and potentially provide a greater health benefit. However,conflicting results have been reported regarding the adaptations to additional mass (inertia...
