Fig. 3. The regression line for mass-specific rate of oxygen consumption
(s
O2) plotted
against heart rate (fH) for seven marine iguanas from Santa Cruz
Island, Galapagos, at 36 °C (see Fig.
2) together with the 95 % prediction intervals when
s
O2 is estimated
from four measurements of fH from four animals. Also included are the
values (mean ± S.D.) for
s
O2 and
fH from four marine iguanas from the island of Santa Fé,
Galapagos, during the pre-exercise period (filled circle) and at maximum
exercise (open circle) at 36 °C.
