Barnacle geese achieve significant energetic savings by changing posture.

Barnacle geese achieve significant energetic savings by changing posture.

Here we report the resting metabolic rate in barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) and provide evidence for the significant energetic effect of posture. Under laboratory conditions flow-through respirometry together with synchronous recording of behaviour enabled a calculation of how metabolic rate vari...
