Abstract
1. 1. Patterns of metabolic adaptation in thermal acclimation have been determined for the common mud-flat snail, Nassarius obsoleta, and two species of larval trematodes, Zoögonus rubellus and Himasthla quissetensis. Both of these species of larval trematodes utilize N. obsoleta as the first intermediate host. 2. 2. Although the host and its parasites are subject to the same general thermal environment, all three species exhibit distinctively different patterns of acclimation. 3. 3. It would appear that the thermal environment of the intermediate host has little or no influence on the physiology of thermal acclimation in the trematode larvae.
