Intraspecific variation in metabolic rate and its correlation with local environment in the Chinese scorpion Mesobuthus martensii
Scorpions are well known for their reduced resting metabolic rate (RMR) in comparison to typical arthropods. Since RMR is a key physiological trait linked with evolutionary fitness, it is expected that there may exist intraspecific RMR variation given the ecological and geographical heterogeneities...
