Is basal metabolic rate associated with recruit production and survival in free‐living house sparrows?
Summary Life history theory predicts that available energy is limited and needs to be allocated among different processes such as growth, reproduction and self‐maintenance. Basal metabolic rate ( BMR ), a common measure of an animal's maintenance cost, is therefore believed to be a trait of eco...
