Contrasting response of haematological variables between long term training and short exercise bouts in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)
... Flight is an energetically efficient mode of locomotion as birds fly a given distance with lower costs compared with running (Butler, 2016). However, per unit time, flying is more costly than running or swimming, making ...

Long term repeatability makes basal metabolic rate a likely heritable trait in the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata
... Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a physiological trait believed to show adaptational changes. Few studies have tested whether BMR shows stable between-individual variations. Repeatability indicates that the trait might be ...
