Metabolism Ecology shapes bird bioenergetics

The basal rate of metabolism of birds and mammals is the lowest rate that is compatible with endothermic temperature regulation, balancing the heat generated with the heat lost by the product of thermal conductance and the temperature differential with the environment. Here I measure the bioenergeti...
