Animals derive resources from their diet and allocate them to organismal functions such as
growth, maintenance, reproduction, and dispersal. How variation in diet quality can affect …

Insect's metabolic rate and patterns of gas-exchange varies according to different factors
such as: species, activity, mass, and temperature among others. One particular striking …

Simple Summary The indirect calorimetry method has been widely used for a long time in
the study of energy metabolism in animals, and it remains an important tool for investigating …

Long-distance flight is crucial for the survival of migratory insects, and disruptions to their
flight capacity can have significant consequences for conservation. In this study, we …

Metabolic chambers are powerful tools for assessing human energy expenditure, providing
flexibility and comfort for the subjects in a near free-living environment. However, the …

An understanding of the dynamics of oxygen consumption by the culture animal is needed to
properly design and operate an aeration system. In commercial production systems, oxygen …

In many physiological systems, real-time endogeneous and exogenous signals in living
organisms provide critical information and interpretations of physiological functions; …

Microwave plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MWPECVD) is widely used for the
growth of synthetic doped diamond for electronic and electrochemical applications. Recent …

In many physiological studies, variables of interest are not directly accessible, requiring that
they be estimated indirectly from noisy measured signals. Here, we introduce two empirical …

Indirect calorimetry (IC) is a widely used method to study animal energy metabolism by
measuring gas exchange. The accuracy of IC depends on detecting variations in signals …
