The fact that viral susceptibility changes during embryogenesis has been pointed out by both experimental embryologists and clinical practitioners, not to mention virologists working with avian material. In attempts to find the fundamental factors which make embryonic tissue susceptible or resistant to a given virus, the metabolic and proliferative rate have been considered relevant (Williamson et al., 1953; Robertson et al., 1955; Töndury, 1956). Experience accumulated in studies of the replication of various viruses in tissue culture has taught us that a high metabolic rate and active proliferation may not always enhance viral replication (Ginsberg, 1958). However, there seems to be justification for the view that an injurious agent leads to more severe tissue damage when it exercises its effect upon actively proliferating tissues than when it does so at the ‘resting stage’.

We investigated the metabolic rate, thermoneutral zone and thermal conductance of the eastern barred bandicoot in Tasmania. Five adult eastern barred bandicoots (two males, three non-reproductive females) were tested at temperatures of 3, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40°C. The thermoneutral zone was calculated from oxygen consumption and body temperature, measured during the daytime: their normal resting phase. It was found that the thermoneutral zone lies between 25°C and 30°C, with a minimum metabolic rate of 0.51 mL g–1 h–1 and body temperature of 35.8°C. At cooler ambient temperatures (3–20°C) the body temperature decreased to approximately 34.0°C while the metabolic rate increased from 0.7 to 1.3 mL g–1�h–1. At high temperatures (35°C and 40°C) both body temperature (36.9–38.7°C) and metabolic rate (1.0–1.5 mL g–1 h–1) rose. Thermal conductance was low below an ambient temperature of 30°C but increased significantly at higher temperatures. The low thermal conductance (due, in part, to good insulation, a reduced body temperature at lower ambient temperatures, combined with a relatively high metabolic rate) suggests that this species is well adapted to cooler environments but it could not thermoregulate easily at temperatures above 30°C.

After a very considerable amount of work, chiefly on regeneration of certain hydroids and flatworms, Child came to the conclusion that in the adult forms there is a gradient in the rate of metabolism extending from a region of high rate at the anterior end to a region of low rate at the posterior end. On this basis he was able to predict with a remarkable degree of success many results which might be obtained in experimental work on regeneration in these forms. As a further result he enunciated his “Dynamic Conception of the Individual.” In this conception he postulates that in all organisms there is a gradient in the rate of metabolism from a dominant region of high metabolic rate to regions of a lower rate. In axiate organisms this dominant region is at the anterior or apical end, and the rate of metabolism decreases towards the posterior or basal end. These gradients are evidenced in a variety of ways. There may be an apico-basal gradient in the rate of cell division in a cleaving egg or in the rate of morphogenesis, the organs of the apical end developing before those of the basal end. There is often a gradient in the ease with which intra vitam stains will stain the various regions of the organism. There may be a gradient in electric potential, or in the susceptibility of the organism to toxic agents.
