Thermal Impact and the Relevance of Body Size and Activity on the Oxygen Consumption of a Terrestrial Snail, <i>Theba pisana</i> (Helicidae) at High Ambient Temperatures

Thermal Impact and the Relevance of Body Size and Activity on the Oxygen Consumption of a Terrestrial Snail, <i>Theba pisana</i> (Helicidae) at High Ambient Temperatures

Metabolism, mainly driven by oxygen consumption, plays a key role in life, as it is one of the main ways to respond to extreme temperatures through internal processes. <i>Theba pisana</i>, a widespread Mediterranean land snail, is exposed to a wide range of ambient temperature. In this s...
