The relation of oxygen consumption to size in Uca rapax from Alligator Harbor, Florida when determined at different temperatures. the results obtained at 12°. Although the temperate zone species U. pugnax utilized more oxygen than U. rapax at 33° and 39°, the tropical species U. thayeri consumed oxygen at a faster rate than U. minax at elevated temperatures. It would appear that no uniform metabolic difference between tropical and temperate zone species was apparent under the conditions of this study. At any temperature point one tropical species may consume oxygen at a faster rate than a similar sized northern organism, while at this same temperature a temperate zone species of another paired comparison would utilize oxygen faster than its tropical counterpart. Influence of size on metabolism Numerous workers have stressed the importance of the dependence of metabolism on body size when making inter- and intraspecific comparisons of crustaceans (Weymouth et al, 1944; Vernberg, 1956; Tashian, 1956; Zeuthen, 1953; Roberts,.
