Metabolism and Ecophysiology of Rajasthan Desert Rodents. Thermoregulation at a Moderately Low Temperature (21 0C) during Winter

Measurement of the metabolic rates of eight species of Rajasthan desert rodents and of Rattus rattus at a moderately low temperature (21°C) during winter has revealed that: there is a significant negative correlation (P<0.05) and body weight; day-active rodents have higher metabolic rates than n...
