Metabolic, ventilatory, and hygric physiology of a South American marsupial, the long-furred woolly mouse opossum
The physiology of the long-furred woolly mouse opossum (Micoureus paraguayanus) conformed to that of other marsupials. Body temperature at thermoneutrality (all values reported as mean ± SE) was 33.3°C ± 0.3°C and basal metabolic rate was 0.760 ± 0.074 ml 02 g−1 h−1. Opossums were thermolabile at lo...
