Add to ORKGEurycea multiplicata is a lungless salamander found in Busiek State Forest and Wildlife Area in Christian County, Missouri. There are several populations of this species which are neotenic, including the one used here. The present study measured oxygen uptake of these animals in the laboratory in order to predict how they might behave in response to changing temperatures. Animals were acclimated to both 10 and 20°C for three weeks, and tested at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25°C. Warm-acclimated animals showed a partial compensation in metabolic rate when compared to cold-acclimated animals. Q₁₀ for cold-acclimated animals was 2.09 (between 5 and 20°C), while the Q₁₀ for warm-acclimated animals over the same range was 1.39. Cold-acclimated animals ap...
