Oxygen consumption of the terrestrial mite Aaskozetes antarcticus (Acari: Cryptostigmata)
Analysis of 148 measurements of individual respiration rate showed that although respiration was linearly related to live weight on a double log10 scale, there were significant differences between rates at 0°, + 50° and +10 °C. Proto- and deutonymphal metabolic rates were higher than other stages, e...
