The nature of scaling between the organismal basal metabolic rate B and its body mass M, BpM a , is currently an important focus of debates in theoretical biology (Whitfield, 2001). For decades, it has been widely accepted that a ¼ 3/4 for virtually all groups of organisms (Hemmingsen, 1960;Kleiber,
Ontogenetic changes and temperature dependency of respiration rate were studied in Dendrobaena mrazeki, an earthworm species inhabiting relatively warm and dry habitats in Central Europe. D. mrazeki showed respiration rate lower than in other earthworm species, < 70 µl O2 g -1 h -1 , within the temp
