Fig. 5. Relationship between the time at which peak
O2 or
CO2 occurred and
the time at which peak rectal temperature occurred in armadillos following the
start of cold-exposure. Data points above the solid line represent
experimental trials in which the peak rectal temperature occurred before the
peak
O2 and
vice versa. Individuals (N=3) for which the time at peak
rectal temperature has a value of zero did not exhibit the typical
cold-induced increase in rectal temperature.
