Bioenergetics and inter-individual variation in physiological capacities in a relict mammal - the Monito del Monte (Dromiciops gliroides).

Abstract excerpt

In evolutionary physiology, studies of inter-individual variation (i.e. repeatability) in functional capacities are valuable as they indicate - within populations - what attributes could respond to natural selection. Although repeatability and quantitative genetics of physiological traits in energy metabolism of eutherian mammals have been well characterized, few or no studies have been performed on marsupials....
