Relationship between oxygen consumption (/A O2 respired/hr per animal) and water temperature for a starved and a non-starved 5-g (dry) specimen of Mcllita qitinqnics- pcrforata. Rates were calculated from regression equations given in Table I. Respiratory rates decline with starvation; the degree to which the rate declined depended on length of time animals were starved, water temperatures during starva- tion, and weight of the animal. Because animals were starved for different lengths of time at different water temperatures, it is difficult to assess the effect of these variables independently. Respiratory rates became more depressed as the period of starvation increased (Table I). A 1-g dry animal which was starved for 18 days at 31° C (VII/21/72) would use fA Oo/hr, whereas a 1-g animal starved for 5 days at 30° C (VI1/30/72) would use /J O2/hr (calculated using a pooled slope of and adjusted intercepts, Table I). Effects of starvation depend on weight of the animals. On the basis of body dry weight, starvation has a proportionally greater effect on the respiratory rate of small starved animals as indicated by higher values for "starved" slopes (Table I). A 20-g (dry weight) starved animal has slightly higher rates and a.
