摘要: The relationship between home range, A (m2) and body weight, W (g) among adults of 13 species terrestrial lizards was estimated as: = 171.4W0.95. slope the logarithmic regression is steeper than that relating standard metabolic rate, M (cm3 O2/hr) at 30°C weight: 0.82W0.62. These functions are compared with similar regressions ranges basal rates birds mammals to size. Two major difficulties in interpretation such data discussed. See full-text article JSTOR
