Oxygen consumption and life span in the adult male housefly, Musca domestica

The metabolic rate of the adult male flies was experimentally altered by varying the level of physical activity and ambient temperature and the results support the postulates of the rate of living hypothesis.

Environmental Temperature and Life Span in Poikilotherms

Drosophila subobscura experiments demonstrated that exposure of flies to a low temperature followed by their transfer to high temperatures at different ages reduced their initial expectation of life at the high temperatures by one day for every day spent at the low temperature.

Two Phases of Ageing in Drosophila Subobscura

It was found that during the early part of the life span, over the range 15-30° C., every day spent at a low temperature reduced the expectation of life at a higher temperature by approximately 1 day, and little further change in this expectation occurred with increasing age at a lower temperature.

ACCLIMATION OF OXYGEN CONSUMPTION TO TEMPERATURE IN THE AMERICAN COCKROACH (PERIPLANETA AMERICANA)

Comparison of cold- and warm-adapted nymphs when measured at a series of temperatures demonstrates that cold-acclimated animals consume more oxygen per gram per hour than equal weight warm- Adapted ones.

The origin of the present investigation was closely connected with a study of the influence of temperature on physical characteristics of Drosophila conducted by one of the authors, and the duration of life of flies genetically and phaenotypically identical is tested.
