Fig. 6. (A) The volume of oxygen consumed during song (V) increases with
duration (D) of song bouts (regression equation:
V=0.437+0.00124D; r=0.797, F=64.409,
P<0.0001). Different symbols represent data points from different
individuals (N as in Table
1). (B) Individuals with a longer motif duration (d)
consumed a larger volume of oxygen (v) per motif (regression
equation: v=-0.210+0.0017d; r=0.9024,
F=17.54, P=0.014). (C) Song oxygen consumption rate
(s) is closely related to pre-song oxygen consumption rate levels
(p) (regression equation: s=0.075+0.904p;
r=0.967, F=529.02, P<0.0001). The broken line
indicates equal values on the x- and y-axes.
