Fig. 1From: Links between energy budgets, somatic condition, and life history reveal heterogeneous energy management tactics in a group-living mesocarnivoreIntrinsic drivers of energy expenditure. Relationships between body weight a, c or age b, d and the two energy metrics (total energy expenditure, a-b, and mechanical energy expenditure, c-d) are shown (± SE). Dashed line in panel a depicts overall allometric scaling relationship, DEEi α W0.62; open circles represent females that had lactated during the year studied, while closed circles represent all other badgersBack to article page
