Kirkton S, Tyler S
Data Brief
. 2021 Aug;
37:107263.
PMID: 34345638
The fate of lactate after exercise varies between animal groups. In ectothermic vertebrates, lactate is primarily converted to glycogen in the muscle. In mammals, lactate is intramuscularly oxidized or converted...

PMID: 33831581
Chronic electrical stimulation (CES) is a well-documented method for changing mammalian muscle from more fast-twitch to slow-twitch metabolic and contractile profiles. Although both mammalian and insect muscles have many similar...

Varoudis T, Swenson A, Kirkton S, Waters J
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2018 Jul;
373(1753).
PMID: 29967301
The physical spaces within which organisms live affect their biology and in many cases can be considered part of their extended phenotype. The nests of social insect societies have a...

Greenlee K, Socha J, Eubanks H, Pedersen P, Lee W, Kirkton S
J Exp Biol
. 2013 Mar;
216(Pt 12):2293-301.
PMID: 23531813
Abdominal pumping in caterpillars has only been documented during molting. Using synchrotron X-ray imaging in conjunction with high-speed flow-through respirometry, we show that Manduca sexta caterpillars cyclically contract their bodies...

J Comp Physiol B
. 2011 Oct;
182(2):217-30.
PMID: 21965137
Among animals, insects have the highest mass-specific metabolic rates; yet, during intermolt development the tracheal respiratory system cannot meet the increased oxygen demand of older stage insects. Using locomotory performance...

Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol
. 2011 Aug;
160(2-3):110-6.
PMID: 21807111
Intraspecific studies have repeatedly shown that muscle-specific oxidative enzyme activities scale negatively with body mass while muscle-specific glycolytic enzyme activities scale positively. However, most of these studies have not included...

. 2009 Aug;
297(5):R1343-50.
PMID: 19710392
As grasshoppers increase in size during ontogeny, they have mass specifically greater whole body tracheal and tidal volumes and ventilation than predicted by an isometric relationship with body mass and...

J Appl Physiol (1985)
. 2009 Mar;
106(6):1810-8.
PMID: 19299574
Previous studies found that selection for endurance running in untrained rats produced distinct high (HCR) and low (LCR) capacity runners. Furthermore, despite weighing 14% less, 7th generation HCR rats achieved...

PMID: 18552301
We use a factorial experimental design to test whether rearing at colder temperatures shifts the lower thermal envelope for flight of Drosophila melanogaster Meigen to colder temperatures. D. melanogaster that...

PMID: 18420720
Untrained rats selectively bred for either high (HCR) or low (LCR) treadmill running capacity previously demonstrated divergent physiological traits as early as the seventh generation (G7). We asked whether continued...
