Fig. 2. Mass-specific metabolic rates in flight, plotted against body mass Mb. The unlabelled points refer to birds. The regression line has been calculated from data for 38 species, of which only a few are represented by points. The broken line shows estimates of mechanical power, based on data for 34 species. Both lines are based on equations in Rayner (1995a). From Alexander (1995), with permission.
