Phenotypic plasticity in the scaling of avian basal metabolic rate.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Apr 2006

McKechnie Andrew E, Freckleton Robert P, Jetz Walter

Abstract excerpt

Many birds exhibit short-term, reversible adjustments in basal metabolic rate (BMR), but the overall contribution of phenotypic plasticity to avian metabolic diversity remains unclear. The available BMR data include estimates from birds living in natural environments and captive-raised birds in m...
