Peer Review #2 of "The role of ambient temperature and body mass on body temperature, standard metabolic rate and evaporative water loss in southern African anurans of different habitat specialisation (v0.1)"
Abstract:Temperature and water availability are two of the most important variables affecting all aspects of an anuran's key physiological processes such as body temperature (T b), evaporative water loss (EWL) and standard metabolic rate (SMR). Since anurans display pronounced sexual dimorphism, evidence suggest that these processes are further influenced by other factors such as vapour pressure deficit (VPD), sex and body mass (M b). However, a limited number of studies have tested the generality of these results acro… Show more
