Nespolo Leonardo D. Bacigalupe Pablo Sabat and Francisco Bozinovic Author for correspondence (e-mail: Accepted 6 June 2002 Summary TOP Summary Introduction Materials and methods Results Discussion References The potential for thermal acclimation in marsupials is controversial. Initial studies suggest that the thermoregulatory maximum metabolic rate (MMR) in metatherians cannot be changed by thermal acclimation.
