Population and Community Energetics,s, emphasizes individual organisms, the mechanisms by which they obtain, process, and allocate energy, and how these mechanisms are constrained by phylogeny, age, sex, behavior, and the environment. The ecological perspective, on the other hand, centers on populations and communities and on the cons

Determining what constitutes adequate nutrition for free-living animals poses a challenge. An animal’s nutritional status depends on (1) its nutr

There is considerable evidence that digestive features are influenced by factors such as diet quality and quantity in species from many avian orders including the Anseriformes (Ankney 1977; Drobney 1984; Prop and Vulink 1992), Galliformes (Gasa

The thermoregulatory processes that contribute to birds’ maintaining homeostasis in the face of these conditions have received considerable attention (see, e.g., Cald
