The development of a mobile mitochondrial laboratory allows physiologists to take their work into the field, and as a result, they can evaluate a fascinating diversity of energetic challenges that animals display. Captivity is stressful for many a

We designed and constructed a mobile laboratory to measure respiration rates in isolated mitochondria of wild animals captured at field locations. Here, we describe the design and outfitting of a mobile mitochondrial laboratory and the associated laboratory protocols.
