Daily Energy Expenditure and the Cost of Activity in Mammals 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Among 17 species of mammals, field metabolic rates exclusiveof thermoregulatory and productive costs (designated FMR*) averaged2.65 x standard metabolism (SMR). Daily activity costswere calculatedby subtraction from FMR* of the daily energy expenditure associatedwith SMR and assimilation of nutrients. Total expenditure foractivity was of a similar magnitude to that for daily standardmetabolism. Calculations indicate that expenditures by mammalsfor locomotion probably account for less than half of dailyactivity costs. Expenditures by mammals engaged in other kindsof activities are also reviewed. During their daily activityperiods, terrestrial mammals expend energy at a rate of about4.1 x SMR. The utility of energetic increments for activityin time-energy budgets, thermal energy budgets, and analysesof the economics of foraging are discussed. 相似文献
