Differences between mean basal and maximal respiratory rate in tropical and temperate species as they relate to mean body mass for both tropical and temperate species (A) represents basal rates, (B) represents proton leak rates, (C) represents uncoupled rates, and (D) represents basal glycolytic rates, where the dashed line represents the limit differences between tropical and temperate species.

WilliamsThe difference between the two rates shows a predominantly negative rate for most species included, indicating that tropical values were generally lower than temperate values. Sample size is the same as Table 1.
