Endothermy and activity in vertebrates.
Resting and maximal levels of oxygen consumption of endothermic vertebrates exceed those of ectotherms by an average of five- to tenfold. Endotherms have a much broader range of activity that can be sustained by this augmented aerobic metabolism. Ectotherms are more reliant upon, and limited by, anaerobic metabolism during activity. A principal factor in the evolution of endothermy was the incr...
متن کاملA Quantitative Histological Study of the Pigment
HERE is considerable reason to believe that the coat-color genes of mamT mals provide particularly favorable material for the study of the physiology of gene action, as the chain of reactions between gene and final character must be short relative to that in most internal and embryologically determined characteristics (E. S. RUSSELL 1946). Therefore a histological analysis of the pigments found...

of a male. The number of mounts attempted by a male was also scored and recorded. The results of all the experiments were converted to lordosis quotient (LQ), defined as a percentage of full lordosis response (perineum elevated, all four legs extended from the initial crouch position and the head at an angle of 450 from the floor) divided by the number of mounts. Each group consisted of six ani...
