For grasshoppers, metabolic rates were not averaged due to the wide mass distribution. Conversion from CO<sub>2 </sub>output to metabolic rate assumed an energy equivalence of 20.1, 24.5, 27.6 and 21.2 J/ml of CO<sub>2 </sub>for grasshoppers [37], beetles [38], ants [39], and fruit flies [40]. Except for grasshoppers and ant abdomen, the beam was larger than the part of the animal being irradiated. Under nominal beam intensities, the absorbed power due to the x-ray irradiation was less than 20% of the unirradiated metabolic rate. Values are mean ± SD. </p> </td> </tr></tbody></table>
