Thyroid hormones correlate with resting metabolic rate, not daily energy expenditure, in two charadriiform seabirds
Summary Thyroid hormones affect in vitro metabolic intensity, increase basal metabolic rate (BMR) in the lab, and are sometimes correlated with basal and/or resting metabolic rate (RMR) in a field environment. Given the difficulty of measuring metabolic rate in the field—and the likelihood that capt...
