Mg = body mass (g); qWg = temperature-corrected (25 °C) mass-specific resting metabolic rate W/g; AIC = Akaike's information criterion. AICΔ gives the difference between each model AIC and that of the lowest AIC found for any model. Terms retained are represented with + symbols, while terms not retained are represented by − symbols.
