For almost 40 years, studies of whole-organism performance have formed a cornerstone of
evolutionary physiology. Although its utility as a heuristic guide is beyond question, and we …

AbstractIntroduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the inter tester and intra
tester reliability of 5 static and 3 dynamic palpation tests, and three pain provocation tests …

To enable the use of heart rate (f H) for estimating field metabolic rate (FMR) in free-ranging
Galapagos marine iguanas Amblyrhynchus cristatus, we determined the relationships …

When locomotor activity is brief, physiological steady state conditions are not attained. It is
therefore difficult to model the energetic costs of intermittent activity using standard methods …

As the analysis of blood metabolites has become more readily accessible thanks to the use
of point-of-care analyzers, it is now possible to evaluate stress level of wild animals directly …

Previous research has shown that the energetic expense per unit distance traveled for one
bout of short-duration activity is much greater than the energetic expense associated with …

The metabolic acidosis resulting from an intense exercise bout is large in crocodilians. Here
we studied recovery from this pH perturbation in the American alligator. Metabolic rate …

We examined the influence of reduced hemoglobin concentrations resulting from malarial
infection on metabolism and thermoregulation in the Fence Lizard, Sceloporus occidentalis …

Introduction: Rehabilitation and medical professionals knowledge of time use of mothers
with autistic child, can help mother and family health promotion. Studies have shown that …

The metabolic cost of steady-state walking is well known; however, across legged animals,
most walking bouts are too short to reach steady state. Here, we investigate how bout …
