Basal metabolic rates of North Atlantic seabirds
Basal metabolic rates (BMR) were measured for 11 species of North Atlantic seabirds, ranging in size from the Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla to the Gannet Sula bassana. BMRs for all species were higher than those predicted from the allometric equations of Lasiewski and Dawson (1967), Aschoff and Pohl (1...
