测量了11种北大西洋海鸟的基础代谢率（BMR），这些海鸟的大小从三趾鸥里萨到塘鹅苏拉。所有物种的BMR均高于Lasiewski和Dawson（1967年）、Aschoff和Pohl（1970年）和Ellis（1984年）的异速生长方程所预测的值。Ellis（1984年）的方程包含纬度校正，班尼特和Harvey（1987年）的方程包含海鸟家族偏离一般鸟类趋势线的情况。BMR的预测更接近，但分别低于和高于本研究中观察到的苏格兰海鸟BMR（55-60度N）由以下等式描述：BMR（kJ/d）= 2.30W（0.774），海鸟BMR变异的主要来源以及形成海鸟与大多数低BMR鸟类之间差异的选择力尚不清楚，但值得进一步研究。
Basal metabolic rates (BMR) were measured for 11 species of North Atlantic seabirds, ranging in size from the Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla to the Gannet Sula bassana. BMRs for all species were higher than those predicted from the allometric equations of Lasiewski and Dawson (1967), Aschoff and Pohl (1970) and Ellis (1984), The equations of Ellis (1984), incorporating a latitude correction, and of Bennett and Harvey (1987), involving deviations by seabird families from a general avian trend line, gave predictions for BMR which were closer to, but respectively lower and higher than, those observed in this study, BMR for seabirds in Scotland (55-60 degrees N) is described by the equation: BMR (kJ/d) = 2.30W(0.774), The principal sources of variability in BMR amongst seabirds and the selective forces shaping the differences between seabirds and most other birds with lower BMRs remain unclear but deserve further study.
