Table 2. Estimates of metabolic rate over time (mg O₂/h) from self-starting nonlinear asymptotic regression model for all species.

Species	Dwelling	R 0			Asym			k
		Mean±SE	t	P	Mean±SE	t	P	Mean±SE	t	P
In the regression model, R0 represents initial value of the dependent variable at time zero, Asym is the asymptotic value, and k is the rate constant.
