Seasonal variability in the respiration of the freshwater clams, Pisidium variabile (prime) and P. compressum (prime) (bivalvia: Pisidiidae)

Seasonal variability in the respiration of the freshwater clams, Pisidium variabile (prime) and P. compressum (prime) (bivalvia: Pisidiidae)

1. 1. Seasonal metabolic rates for both Pisidium variabile and P. compressum were partially independent of temperature, but coincided with periods of reproduction. 2. 2. The exponent from the metabolic rate-weight equation varied seasonally in both species; values ranged from 0.350 to 0.973 for P. v...

Zusammenfassung:1. 1. Seasonal metabolic rates for both Pisidium variabile and P. compressum were partially independent of temperature, but coincided with periods of reproduction. 2. 2. The exponent from the metabolic rate-weight equation varied seasonally in both species; values ranged from 0.350 to 0.973 for P. variabile and from 0.205 to 0.989 for P. compressum.
