Description
CO2 emission measurement using flow-through respirometry to quantify resting metabolic rate and flight metabolic capacity in individual butterflies. Includes forced flight trials with chamber agitation.
Typical Equipment
- 1-litre respirometry chamber
- flow-through respirometry system
- light source
Output Measurements
- resting metabolic rate
- peak metabolic rate
- flight metabolic rate
