Metabolic Calculators: Temperature Effects (ectotherms)

Here are some calculators for quantifying the Q10 of an ectothermic organism, and for calculating the metabolic rate of an ectotherm at a different temperature than the one at which it was measured.

Calculate Q10 of an ectothermic organism

Enter measurement temperature T1 (oC):

Enter measurement temperature T2 (oC):

Enter metabolic rate at temperature T1:

Enter metabolic rate at temperature T2:

Click this button to calculate the Q10:

The Q10 of the organism is:

Calculate the metabolic rate of an ectothermic organism
at a different temperature, given its Q10

Enter measurement temperature T1 (oC):

Enter new temperature T2 (oC):

Enter metabolic rate at temperature T1:

Enter the Q10 of the organism:

Click this button to calculate MR at temperature T2:

The MR of the organism at temperature T2 is:

The factorial change in MR is:
