From: Higher resting metabolic rate in long-lived breeding Ansell’s mole-rats (Fukomys anselli)
Mass specific resting metabolic rate (msRMR) of non-reproductive (N = 14) and reproductive (N = 12) Fukomys anselli within the boundaries of their respective thermoneutral zones (non-reproductive: 26–30 °C; reproductive: 28–33 °C). The mean msRMRs of each individual (open circles) throughout its TNZ are presented together with the mean of the respective reproductive status (bars) and its SD (whiskers).
