ENERGY EXPENDITURE BY FREE-LIVING DIPPERS (CINCLUS CINCLUS) IN WINTER

White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) Science Article 3 abstract We measured daily energy expenditure (DEE) of free-living Dippers (Cinclus cinclus) during winter, using the doubly-labelled water (DLW) technique. DEE was estimated as 206 kJd-1 by this method, compared to 194 kJd-l using time-activity budgets combined with laboratory estimates of metabolic costs D. M. BRYANT et al, […]
