Meta-analysis reveals that resting metabolic rate is not consistently related to fitness and performance in animals.

Journal of comparative physiology. B, Biochemical, systemic, and environmental physiology - 1 Nov 2021

Arnold Pieter A, Delean Steven, Cassey Phillip, White Craig R

Abstract excerpt

Explaining variation in the fitness of organisms is a fundamental goal in evolutionary ecology. Maintenance energy metabolism is the minimum energy required to sustain biological processes at rest (resting metabolic rate: RMR) and is proposed to drive or constrain fitness of animals; however, this remains debated. Hypotheses have been proposed as to why fitness might increase with RMR (the 'increased intake' or...
