The cost of energy transformation and digestibility of macronutrients in northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus)
Bioenergetic studies can quantify the conversion of chemical energy contained in food to biologically useful energy to understand how changes in diet quality and quantity affect overall energy budgets and nutritional status. However, chemical energy is intrinsically linked to the macronutrients cont...
