Abstract
1. 1. Experiments with variously acclimatized male blowflies ( Calliphora erythrocephala) show that “standard metabolic rate”, as measured by oxygen consumption of the whole animal and of isolated flight muscle tissue, is temperature dependent over the range 10–30°C. 2. 2. The results contrast with the recent findings of Newell (1966, 1967) and Newell & Northcroft (1967); discussion is therefore given to the respective differences between results and their interpretation.
