Fig. 4. Raw isotope enrichment data from one individual, which was used to
calculate its flight cost. Before flight (diamonds) the isotope enrichment
data conforms to a linear regression, while after flight (squares) a
polynomial regression provided the best fit. The regression equations were
extrapolated to the time when flight began and ended and the gradient between
these two values is the isotope elimination rate during the flight period. In
this example kc was 0.73 min1.
