Resting metabolic rate and heat increment of feeding in juvenile South American fur seals (Arctocephalus australis)
Bio-energetic models used to characterize an animal's energy budget require the accurate estimate of different variables such as the resting metabolic rate (RMR) and the heat increment of feeding (HIF). In this study, we estimated the in air RMR of wild juvenile South American fur seals (SAFS;...
