Abstract: Muscle contractile properties are dependent on temperature: cooler temperatures generally slow contractile rates. Contraction and relaxation are driven by underlying biochemical systems, which are inherently sensitive to temperature. Carollia perspicillata, a small Neotropical bat, experiences… read more here.
