Abstract
:
The mean activity body temperature of the nocturnal gecko, Hemidacrylus lurcicus, was 28°C during summer. The mass-specific metabolic rate equations at 28°C were calculated. The rate of oxygen consumption (ml g-1 h- J) decreased with increasing body mass. The mass exponent 'b' values for resting metabolism were 0.60 at night and 0.62 during day. Resting metabolic rate at night was significantly higher than that during day. Diel cycles in °2 consumption were correlated with daily activity of this nocturnal gecko.
