<p>Estimates of model coefficients (± standard error) for the effect of body mass, mean ambient temperature (T_a) and habitat type on metabolic scope (DEE/RMR) in male weasels.</p

Effect of ambient temperature on resting metabolic rate and metabolic scope.

<p>The quadratic effect of mean T_a (ambient temperature) on (A) RMR (resting metabolic rate; kJ/day) adjusted for the effects of body mass, and (B) metabolic scope (DEE/RMR), in male weasels. Broken line – fitted by linear least-square regression (mean response), solid line - fitted by linear quantile regression (for <i>tau</i>  =  0.95).</p

Effect of ambient temperature on activity time and daily energy expenditures.

<p>The quadratic effect of average daily T_a (ambient temperature) on (A) AT (daily activity time; hours/day) adjusted for the effect of habitat; (B) DEE (daily energy expenditure; kJ/day) adjusted for the effects of body mass and AT, in male weasels. Broken line – fitted using parameters from mixed model (mean response), solid line - fitted by linear quantile regression (for <i>tau</i>  =  0.95).</p
