Fig. 7. Plot of mass-corrected resting metabolic rate, ln(B Mb-3/4) vs inverse absolute temperature (1000/°K) for unicells (A), plants (B), multicellular invertebrates (C), fish (D), amphibians (E), reptiles (F), and birds and mammals (G). Birds (filled symbols) and mammals (open symbols) are shown at normal body temperature (triangles) and during hibernation or torpor (squares). Figure taken from Gillooly et al. (2001) with permission.
