Mammals vs Aves
Methods
Subjects
Birds and animals were tested, but we did omit some
Mammals Omitting
Aepyprymnus rufescens, Bettongia gaimardi,
Bos Taurus, Elephas maximus, Camelus dromedaries, Connochaetes taurinus, Cricetomys
gambianus, Herpestes javanicus, Microtus oeconomus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus, Perodicticus
potto, Pteropus poliocephalus, Pteropus rodricensis, Suncus etruscus, Tamiasciurus
hudsonicus, Tarsipes rostratus, Taurotragus oryx, Trichechus inunguis, Trichechus manatus
Birds Omitting
-
patagonicus, Junco hyemalis, and Diomedea exulans, Aquila chrysaetos, Phoebastria
immutabilis, Apteryx australis, Struthio camelus, Uria aalge, and Gallus gallus
Design
The body mass and BMR was collected for birds and mammals. The mass specific BMR we calculated using statistical methods, t test and scatter plots.
Procedure
extracted data from quaardvark, used stats methods, calculated mass specific BMR

Introduction
Background
Basal Metabolic rate is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest. The larger the animal, they usually have longer lifespans.
Hypothesis/ Questions
Is the BMR for birds and mammals similar? If Simiiformes are put into captivity, then their lifespan will increase, due to better individualized care. I hope to be able to find the correlation between lifespan in the wild and in captivity for monkeys. I Believe the lifespan in captivity will be longer due to more care available to the species.
Results
there is a positive correlation between body mass and BMR for both species. There was a negative correlation between the body mass and the specific BMR.
Lifespan for Simiiformes were greater in captivity than in the wild.

Abstract
Background
Basal Metabolic rate is the rate at the body uses energy while at rest to keep vital functions going, such as breathing and keeping warm. Trying to hypothesize about body mass in relation to BMR
Methods
Extracted data from Quaardvark website database to find the mass specific BMR for each species, theoretical experiment
Results
The average BMR and body mass of mammals was much greater than the birds. The mean was also greater than the birds. The graphs show these correlations perfectly.
