Thyroid hormones correlate with Basal metabolic rate but not field metabolic rate in a wild bird species.
International audience Thyroid hormones (TH) are known to stimulate in vitro oxygen consumption of tissues in mammals and birds. Hence, in many laboratory studies a positive relationship between TH concentrations and basal metabolic rate (BMR) has been demonstrated whereas evidence from species in t...

International audience Thyroid hormones (TH) are known to stimulate in vitro oxygen consumption of tissues in mammals and birds.

Even though basal and field metabolic rates (FMR) are often thought to be intrinsically linked it is still unknown whether a relationship between TH and FMR exists. Here we determine the relationship between the primary thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3) with both BMR and FMR in a wild bird species, the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla).
