Estimating field metabolic rates for Australian marsupials using phylogeny.
Field metabolic rate (FMR) is a useful measure for the energy expenditure in free-ranging animals. Field metabolic rates for species that have not been measured are usually predicted by allometric equations on the basis of their body mass (BM). Phylogenetically informed methods improve estimates of...
