Article Description

1.1. A respirometer for long-term measurements of oxygen consumption in terrestrial vertebrates is described.2.2. The tortoise, Testudo hermanni Gmelin, investigated in summer and autumn, presents a day-night rhythm of oxygen consumption at 28 and 18°C but not at 8°C.3.3. The standard metabolic rate presents an important and constant thermal dependence in the range 8-18-28°C.
