Abstract
The present paper deals with direct and indirect calorimetric experime nts on smaller terrestrial and aquatic animals in the range of mg and g wet weight. Especially, the energy metabolism during development and growth, under decrease of oxy gen concentration (hypoxia/anoxia) and with adverse or toxic environmental conditions was studied. The result s demonstrate the broad versability of direct calorimetry as a sensiti ve, nonspecific and non-invasive method for investigations of living o rganisms.
