Fig. 2. Repeatability values (r), and their upper and lower 95% confidence limits for all the components of the cyclic patterns, as well as for the components across patterns. (A) Discontinuous gas exchange cycle pattern, (B) Interburst-Burst pattern, (C) Pulsation pattern, (D) the three gas exchange patterns combined for females only, (E) the three gas exchange patterns combined for males and females, (F) mass, metabolic rate and frequency. Mnemonics are as follows: in A–E, O = O-period, C = C-period, F = F-period, I = Interburst period, B = Burst period, E = emission rate, V = volume, D = duration; in F, M = mass, MRMF = metabolic rate for males and females combined, MRF = metabolic rate for females only, FMF = frequency for males and females combined, FF = frequency for females only.
