Wake respirometry allows breath-by-breath assessment of ventilation and CO2 production in unrestrained animals

Summary: Quantifying stress and energetic responses in animals are major challenges, as existing methods lack temporal resolution and elevate animal stress. We propose “wake respirometry,” a new method of quantifying fine-scale changes in CO2 production in unrestrained animals, using a nondispersive...
