Allometric scaling of metabolic rate and cardiorespiratory variables in aquatic and terrestrial mammals

Allometric scaling of metabolic rate and cardiorespiratory variables in aquatic and terrestrial mammals

Abstract While basal metabolic rate (BMR) scales proportionally with body mass (Mb), it remains unclear whether the relationship differs between mammals from aquatic and terrestrial habitats. We hypothesized that differences in BMR allometry would be reflected in similar differences in scaling of O2...
