The anaerobic contribution to sustained activity in the giant toad Bufo marinus

The Aerobic Cost of Saltatory Locomotion in the Fowler’s Toad (Bufo Woodhousei Fowleri)

“…Sustained movement may be fuelled by aerobic metabolism after an initial contribution of anaerobiosis to support the first minutes of activity (Bennett, 1985). The mechanisms of stamina, fatigue and recovery are problematic in amphibians (Bennett, 1974;Cushman, Packard & Boardman, 1976;Fitts & Holloszy, 1976;Feder & Olsen, 1978;Hutchison & Turney, 1975;Hutchison, Miller & Gratz, 1981) and merit further investigation.…”
