Estudos de taxa respiratória em artrópodes remetem a dados eco fisiológicos importantes, uma vez que estes animais realizam importantes funções ecossistêmicas e por serem a maior diversidade e abundância de animais presentes na Terra. Esta pesquisa mede e descreve taxas respiratórias, através da emissão de CO2, e as relaciona com a massa corporal de artrópodes. Este estudo foi realizado em fragmentos remanescentes de Floresta Atlântica litorânea da Paraíba, Brasil. A pesquisa abrange todos os subfilos de artrópodes (Crustacea, Chelicerata, Myriapoda e Hexapoda) representados por 705 espécimes coletados ativamente entre outubro e dezembro de 2016 e experimentados através de respirometria fechada pelo Analisador de Gás por Infravermelho (IRGA). Como resultado foi visto que dentre os artrópodes avaliados os Hexapoda e Chelicerata apresentaram maiores taxas de emissão de dióxido de carbono enquanto que os Crustacea e Myriapoda as menores. Sobre a relação com a massa corporal, os Hexapoda e Crustacea apresentaram maior respiração por massa específica de artrópode, e em geral, todos os Arthropoda seguiram o padrão descrito pela fisiologia animal, onde a massa corporal e a taxa respiratória animal encontram-se correlacionadas inversamente.
