[Effect of temperature on oxygen consumption of Vipera seoanei Lataste, 1879 (Reptilia, Viperidae) acclimatized to natural conditions].
Relations between respiration rates and temperature for 5 young Vipers previously maintained under natural climatic conditions were analysed from 15 to 30 degrees C. Oxygen consumption increases with temperature and concurrently with a constant Q10, at least for medium consumption, and drops as spontaneous activity is higher.
