The effect of acclimation to constant temperatures, pollution of food by heavy metals and short-term fasting on the metabolic activity of <i>Glomeris balcanica</i> (Diplopoda: Glomeridae)

Changing temperature regime has an important effect on the respiratory metabolism of <i>Glomeris balcanica</i>. A left skewing response of animals to increasing temperature is revealed and modeled. Acclimation from fluctuating to constant temperatures depresses metabolism through a three...
