Energy metabolism, heart rate and physiological differentiation in the pulmonate gastropod Cornu aspersum [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2013 We explored differences in metabolic rates of the introduced snail Cornu aspersum collected from three distant coastal locations across a 1300 km latitudinal range in Chile and raised under common-garden conditions. We measured two proxies of metabolic rate: heart rate (fH) and CO2 production (standard metabolic rate, SMR) in a flow-through ...
