THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RIGHTING OF ECHINODERMS

NATHANIEL KLEITMAN 1

1 From the Bermuda Biological Station, St. George's West, Bermuda

The speed of a global activity of three echinoderms, in the form of body-righting, is related to their temperature, within the physiological limits of 10° to 30° C. The speed increases as the temperature rises, and optimum performance is obtained at 24-26° C.
