Fig. 4. Results of a down–up (DU) protocol for a 7-day-old lesser yellowlegs Tringa flavipes chick, showing rate of oxygen consumption O2 versus body temperature Tb on a log scale (A) and ln[O2(adj)] as a function of Tb (B), the temperature gradient {Delta}T (Tb-Ta) (C) and the rate of change in Tb ({Delta}Tb) (D). The slope of ln(O2) versus Tb was 0.0274, corresponding to a Q10 of 1.32.
