About 40% of the population variation in the initiation dates of first clutches within years is genetically determined. The onset of laying, which is determined by the female, is not detectably influenced by spatial heterogeneity of the study area.There is a variable selection favoring early, middle
The validity of using the basal metabolic rate (BMR) to calculate an individual's energy requirements is based upon the assumption that the intraindividual variation in BMR is small. Early studies (pre-1940) on BMR in women had shown that the menstrual cycle may have a profound effect, contributing
Length and breadth of eggs were measured in ringed populations of the Great Tit. During a part of the study volume and weight were also measured, but this did not give additional information, viz. variation in specific weight of fresh eggs and deviations from calculated volume were within the limits
Human indigenous circumpolar populations have elevated basal metabolic rates (BMRs) relative to predicted values; this metabolic elevation has been postulated to be a physiological adaptation to chronic and severe cold stress. The present study examines BMR in the Yakut, an indigenous high-latitude
