Relationships between bone growth rate, body mass and resting metabolic rate in growing amniotes: a phylogenetic approach

We explored the factors that explain the variation in resting metabolic rates (RMR) in growing amniotes by using the phylogenetic comparative method. For this, we measured raw RMR (mL O₂ h⁻¹), body mass, body mass growth rate, and periosteal bone growth rate in a sample of 44 growing individuals bel...
