Heterospecific hybrids often suffer from a lowered fitness relative to parental species. Contextdependent intrinsic costs of hybridization are partially due to a malfunction in cell biochemical machinery that affects metabolic rates at the organismal level. This study examines whether heterospecific hybridization influences the metabolic costs of maintenance in F1 hybrids between closely related newts, Triturus carnifex and T. dobrogicus. When controlled for body size, oxygen consumption in hybrid newts was 59–76 % higher than in the parental species. This suggests that high standard metabolic rates in hybrids may contribute to the costs of hybridization in newts.
