THE WARM, THE COOL, THE CONTROL: HOW TEMPERATURE AFFECTS ECTOTHERMS’ METABOLIC RATES

Abstract

This experiment was done with the purpose of further understanding the relationship between environmental temperature and metabolic rates in different species of ectotherms. To test this, the CO2 productions were measured for three groups of domesticated crickets and three groups of super worms, each with a different temperature; the data was recorded and the results demonstrated that=..............................
