Abstract

ABSTRACT Rates of oxygen consumption in seawater standardized for size (mass or body length) were compared for a representative supralittoral, wrack generalist talitrid – Platorchestia platensis and a representative driftwood, specialist talitrid – Macarorchestia remyi. Oxygen consumption in seawater was significantly less in M. remyi. This confirms the view that a reduced standard metabolic rate, and consequent reduction in growth rate and final size achieved, was an important physiological mechanism involved in dwarfism and adaptation to driftwood in M. remyi. Reduced standard metabolic rate in driftwood specialist talitrids is contrary to the metabolic theory of ecology.

比较浮木和残骸的吸氧速率

摘要:本文比较了具有代表性的海上浮游生物(wricgeneralist talitrid - Platorchestia platensis)和具有代表性的浮木(Macarorchestia remyi)在尺寸(质量或体长)标准化后的海水耗氧量。雷米氏夜蛾在海水中的耗氧量明显较低。这证实了这样一种观点，即标准代谢率的降低，以及随之而来的生长速度和最终尺寸的降低，是雷米矮化和适应浮木的重要生理机制。浮木特种树标准代谢率的降低与生态学的代谢理论相悖。

期刊介绍： Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology is devoted to the publication of papers covering field and laboratory research into all aspects of the behaviour and physiology of all marine and freshwater animals within the contexts of ecology, evolution and conservation. As the living resources of the world’s oceans, rivers and lakes are attracting increasing attention as food sources for humans and for their role in global ecology, the journal will also publish the results of research in the areas of fisheries biology and technology where the behaviour and physiology described have clear links to the contexts mentioned above. The journal will accept for publication Research Articles, Reviews, Rapid Communications and Technical Notes (see Instructions for authors for details). In addition, Editorials, Opinions and Book Reviews (invited and suggested) will also occasionally be published. Suggestions to the Editor-In-Chief for Special Issues are encouraged and will be considered on an ad hoc basis. With the goal of supporting early career researchers, the journal particularly invites submissions from graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. In addition to recognising the time constraints and logistical limitations their research often faces, and their particular need for a prompt review process, accepted articles by such researchers will be given prominence within the journal (see Instructions for authors for details).
