Temporal and spatial metabolic rate variation in the Antarctic springtail Gomphiocephalus hodgsoni.

Abstract excerpt

Spatial and temporal environmental variation in terrestrial Antarctic ecosystems are known to impact species strongly at a local scale, but the ways in which organisms respond (e.g. physiologically, behaviourally) to such variation are poorly understood. Further, very few studies have attempted to assess inter-annual variability of such responses. Building on previous work demonstrating intra-seasonal variation...
