Homeostatic Responses to Changing Metabolic Demands
Timothy J. Bradley (University of California, Irvine, USA)

Physiological stress is likely to effect the functioning of the respiratory system. Alterations in body temperature such as those experienced during periods of torpor and episodic breathing in animals and plants is one mechanism. We aim to examine how the respiratory system copes with a range of physiological demands.
