Reduction in metabolic rate and body temperature is a common strategy for small endotherms to save energy. The daily reduction in metabolic rate and heterothermy, or torpor, is particularly pronounced
The opposite roles of routine and activity metabolic rate in driving variation in the predictability of behaviour in hermit crabs: Supplemental materials
1. Divergent energy acquisition and processing strategies associated with using different microhabitats may allow phenotypes to specialize and co-exist at small spatial scales. 2. To understand how ec
Behavioral ecologists have hypothesized that among-individual differences in resting metabolic rate (RMR) may predict consistent individual differences in mean values for costly behaviors, or for beha
