Thyroid hormones correlate with basal metabolic rate but not field metabolic rate in a wild bird species.

Thyroid hormones correlate with basal metabolic rate but not field metabolic rate in a wild bird species.

Thyroid hormones (TH) are known to stimulate in vitro oxygen consumption of tissues in mammals and birds. Hence, in many laboratory studies a positive relationship between TH concentrations and basal metabolic rate (BMR) has been demonstrated whereas evidence from species in the wild is scarce. Even...
