Exploring individual quality: basal metabolic rate and reproductive performance in storm-petrels
Despite evidence that some individuals achieve both superior reproductive performance and high survivorship, the factors underlying variation in individual quality are not well understood. The compensation and increased-intake hypotheses predict that basal metabolic rate (BMR) influences reproductiv...
