Effects of Measurement Duration on the Determination of Basal Metabolic and Evaporative Water Loss of Small Marsupials: How Long is Long Enough
We examined the time course for measurement of basal metabolic rate (BMR; measured as O2 consumption and CO2 production) and standard evaporative water loss (EWL) for six species of small marsupial to determine the minimum time required to achieve basal/standard values. There was a highly significan...
