Metabolic rate, energy loss, and survival time under anoxic conditions. (A) Mass-specific rates, qA, of energy dissipation by organisms capable of surviving more than half a day of anoxia. (B) Energy loss ψ during anoxia is independent of survival time (filled circles). The open circles indicate normoxic energy losses of bears during hibernation and ticks during prolonged starvation. Redrawn from Makarieva et al. (2006, p. 90).
