## Abstract Analysis of oxygen consumption and lactic acid formation during five minutes of maximal activity by the rodents Microtus montanus (Cricetidae) and Dipodomys merriami (Heteromyidae) indicates that: (1) anaerobiosis provides approximately 10% of total energy utilized during the 5βminute a
