Temperature-Modulated Expression of Allometric Respiration Strategies Supports a Metabolic Scaling Rule
A model based on the mass-specific oxygen consumption rate of the tolerant polychaete, Capitella telata, related meaningfully to a novel metabolic scaling rule as applied to the infaunal size spectrum. Depending on temperature, C. telata expressed divergent oxyregulating or oxyconforming strategies...
