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
