Question

A) The FMR of a bird of a given mass is some multiple of the FMR of a reptile of a given mass. Based on these data, exactly how many times greater are the FMR's of birds than reptiles? B) It has been generally assumed that widely-foraging predators would have a higher FMR than wait-ambush predators. You went into the field and captured a l0gram, 40gram, and l00gram reptile of both predator types and decide to test this claim using the measured FMRs provided in TABLE 1. Does this claim hold true?

Explanation / Answer

A) As per the data, the FMR of birds is almost 5 times than their body mass and the FMR of reptiles nearly 1/10th of their body mass. According to kiebler's law the metabolic rate of non human species is actually 3/4 of their body masses but here it is a different. So from the data, the FMR of birds is actually 400 times higher than the FMR of reptiles.
