我选择讨论自由放养的成年海鸟能量学的三个主要领域：基础代谢、运动和能量预算。与本章其他主要领域相比，有关基础代谢的信息更多，这既反映了过去最常收集的信息类型，也反映了与中上层鸟类合作所固有的困难。基础代谢不仅为自由活动能量学的讨论提供了基线和起点，而且还具有某些有趣的生态相关性，可能有助于阐明海鸟的能量学。其中一个相关因素涉及羽毛颜色并具有温度调节影响（卢斯蒂克在单独的章节中进行了处理），特别是对于低（暖）纬度的鸟类。还讨论了基础代谢的其他相关因素，例如气候、飞行和觅食行为；这些相关性可能会向读者建议未来研究的可能途径。
I have chosen to address three major areas in the energetics of free-ranging adult seabirds: basal metabolism, locomotion, and energy budgets. More information is available on basal metabolism than on the other major areas of this chapter, a reflection both of the type of information most often collected in the past and of the difficulties inherent in working with pelagic birds. Basal metabolism not only provides a baseline and starting point for a discussion on free-ranging energetics, but it also has certain interesting ecological correlates that may help elucidate the energetics of seabirds. One such correlate involves plumage color and has thermoregulatory implications (treated by Lustick in a separate chapter), especially for birds of low (warm) latitudes. Such other correlates of basal metabolism as climate and flight and foraging behaviors are also discussed; these correlates may suggest to readers possible avenues for future research.
