digestibility and energy content leads to a restructuring of the digesdve apparatus, and in tum changes in BMR, appearing independently from those observed in Msum. The proximal effect of cold ambient temperaturę on parameters of metabolic performance (Broggi et al., 2007; Olson et al., 2010; Swanson & Olmstead, 1999) would therefore be much morę influential for Msum than for BMR. Experimental research is needed to test this “metabolic uncoupling” hypothesis and to determine what biotic and/or abiotic factors trigger seasonal changes in parameters of metabolic performance.
Given the seasonal mismatch in variations of BMR and Msum, it is therefore of no surprise to fmd a lack of significant correlation between these parameters when controlling for body mass in regression analyses. Independence of BMR and Msum has also been observed by others (Swanson, 2010; Swanson et al., 2012; Vćzina et al., 2006; Wiersma et al., 2007) but findings remains conflicting (Dutenhoffer & Swanson, 1996; Lewden et al., 2012). Experimental manipulations of BMR and Msum, for example by combining diet and temperaturę treatments, should therefore be conducted to confirm findings.
1.6.3 Intra-individual variation in winter metabolic performance
Studies on seasonal variation of avian metabolic performance are typically conducted at the population level (Cooper, 2000; Liknes & Swanson, 201 lb; 0'Connor, 1995; Zheng et al., 2008) and, although it is rarely stated, they generally assume that population pattems are reflective of those observable within individuals. As far as we know, this is the first study to document with an extensive dataset seasonal variation of metabolism at both the population and individual levels in a resident bird species. Our findings support the common assumption; pattems observed at the population level reflected intra-individual variation in body mass, mass-independent BMR, Msum and ME (figurę 1.3) and are therefore representative of average individual phenotypic flexibility.
