Metabolic adaptations of antarctic terrestrial micro-arthropods
1. 1. Comparative analyses of standard metabolism, as measured by weight specific oxygen consumption, for Antarctic and temperate terrestrial Acari show that polar forms of the Cryptostigmata and Mesostigmata exhibit an elevation of metabolism of 2–4 times over their normal environmental temperature...
