## Abstract Changes in metabolism and acidβbase status were compared during dormancy in the pulmonate land snail __Helix aspersa__ and a prosobranch amphibious snail __Pomacea bridgesi__. The typical condition of higher blood PCO~2~ and bicarbonate levels for airβbreathing versus waterβbreathing ve
This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that the rate of urea synthesis in Protopterus aethiopicus was up-regulated to detoxify ammonia during the initial phase of aestivation in air (day 1-day 12), and that a profound suppression of ammonia production occurred at a later phase of aestivati
