Resting metabolic rate (RMR) of desert hamsters in the TNZ as a function of body mass (BM) measured as rate of oxygen consumption at ambient temperatures (Ta) of 30 to 32°C. The RMR fell with the increase of BM (log10y = 0.757–0.33log10x; r2 = 0.59). RMR data were included for adult hamsters with body mass over 15 g (8–10 months age) raised under same laboratory conditions.
