- Abstract
The doubly labelled water method ( DLW) is widely used to measure field metabolic rate ( FMR), but it has some limitations. Here, we validate an innovative technique for measuring FMR by comparing the turnover of isotopic rubidium (86 Rb kb) with DLW depletion and the rate of CO2 production (
