Comparison of Cartesian Diver-Winkler measurements of respiratory rates in larvae of the damselfly Pyrrhosoma nymphula, and Cartesian Diver-Gilson comparisons in the snail Potamopyrgus jenkinsi are descibed. Measurements of oxygen uptake using these different methods do not differ significantly for the same species of animal at the same temperature. Published data likewise suggest that Warburg and Winkler measurements can give similar results.All these methods, therefore, appear to be equally suitable for ecological work, providing they are used carefully and with a sound knowledge of the biology of the animal under investigation.
本文描述了对豆娘（Pyrrhosoma nymphula）幼虫呼吸速率的笛卡尔潜水钟-温克勒测量法的比较，以及对蜗牛（Potamopyrgus jenkinsi）的笛卡尔潜水钟-吉尔森测量法的比较。在相同温度下，使用这些不同方法对同一物种动物的氧气摄取量测量结果并无显著差异。已发表的数据同样表明，瓦氏呼吸计法和温克勒测量法可得出相似结果。因此，所有这些方法似乎同样适用于生态学研究，前提是使用时要谨慎，并对所研究动物的生物学特性有充分了解。
