Document Summary
Lecture 4: metabolic rate: co(cid:374)ti(cid:374)ued , maximal (aerobic, sustainable) metabolic rate, q1. Is mmr really being measured: consistency of the measurements. If experiment done multiple times over diff. times (ex 10 times over, or once a day) -> Is a repeatable, measurable, consistent trait: physiological relevance. If value same overtime chances a fish is equally unmotivated each day is unlikely: different due to variability in day to day motivation, consistency => measuring a using parameter, q2. Is mmr relevant to animals: physiological or ecological relevance to the fish, fig. 9 bar graphs of 9 diff. bone fish: % of time vs % of maximal mr, equipped fish w accelerometer devices, released back into natural habitat w accelerometer, allowed them to measure. In the lab, using swim fume assessed mmr the mr of the fish overtime while out in enviro: gathered data how much time do these fish spend at these varied levels of.
