Figure 3. Longitudinal RMR data collected for one bearded seal over 3 years. Left panel displays monthly mean mass-specific RMR (±SD). On average, four data points (range: 1–6) were collected each month. Typical molt period denoted by a horizontal arrow between dashed vertical lines. Source data for the left panel, along with corresponding absolute RMR values and subject metadata, are provided as Supplementary Data. Right panel displays individual metabolic data points collected in the 100 days preceding and 100 days following the 50% molt date each year (solid vertical line). Dashed vertical lines denote the mean start and end dates of molt referenced to the 50% molt date.
