What causes intraspecific variation in resting metabolic rate and what are its ecological consequences?

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Dec 2011

Burton T, Killen S S, Armstrong J D, Metcalfe N B

Abstract excerpt

Individual differences in the energy cost of self-maintenance (resting metabolic rate, RMR) are substantial and the focus of an emerging research area. These differences may influence fitness because self-maintenance is considered as a life-history component along with growth and reproduction. In this review, we ask why do some individuals have two to three times the 'maintenance costs' of conspecifics, and what...
