摘要：

Metabolic rates of gravid females of the viviparous Sceloporus jarrovi are higher than those of nonreproductive lizards. During parturition, oxygen consumption of the female is 57-162% higher than resting levels. The elevated oxygen consumption of viviparous female lizards during gestation could constitute a significant component of reproductive effort in these species. -from Authors
