Environment, migratory tendency, phylogeny and basal metabolic rate in birds.

PloS one - 23 Sept 2008

Jetz Walter, Freckleton Robert P, McKechnie Andrew E

Abstract excerpt

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) represents the minimum maintenance energy requirement of an endotherm and has far-reaching consequences for interactions between animals and their environments. Avian BMR exhibits considerable variation that is independent of body mass. Some long-distance migrants have been found to exhibit particularly high BMR, traditionally interpreted as being related to the energetic demands of...
