Table 2. Summary of metabolic, locomotory and thermal parameters for toads from each of 3 sites (see text for sample sizes).
Recovery periods 1, 2 and 3 refer to respiratory gases measured at 5, 10 and 15 min after the treadmill had stopped. Values are means ± 1 standard deviation, and P values are from ANOVAs.
