Free-living greylag geese adjust their heart rates and body core temperatures to season and reproductive context

Animals adaptively regulate their metabolic rate and hence energy expenditure over the annual cycle to cope with energetic challenges. We studied energy management in greylag geese. In all geese, profound seasonal changes of heart rate (f(H)) and body temperature (T(b)) showed peaks in summer and tr...
