There were significant phenotypic correlations between specific metabolic traits: SMR was positively correlated with MMR and P crit ; MMR was positively correlated with AAS; and AAS was negatively correlated with P crit . In general, within-individual variation...

Few studies have tested whether BMR shows stable between-individual variations. Repeatability indicates that the trait might be heritable and therefore a possible...
