BMR and how it is linked to Body Mass and Diet in Mammals and Aves
Abstract
Methods
Data collection
Mammals and Aves, their BMR.
Data collected through research of scientific journals and collecting data from databases.
Results
Body mass, mass-specific BMR, and diet of Mammals and Aves.
Obtaining and analyzing data from database. Quaardvark.
Background
The correlation between body mass, BMR, and mass-specific BMR in Mammals and Aves. The role diet has on BMR in mammals.
We already know that there is positive correlation between body mass and BMR in bot Mammals and Aves. Also, we learned that there is negative correlation between body mass and mass-specific BMR
In mammals do carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores have a high BMR.
Introduction
Background
How is BMR related to body mass in mammals and aves? Also, how do different diets in mammals affect BMR?
BMR is related to body mass in Mammals and Aves. In mammals diet affects BMR but not necessarily how you think it would.
It is known that certain diets in humans are considered to be healthier than others. How does this compare in other mammals? How do carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores rank in terms of BMR?
Unknown/Problem
What questions remain unanswered?
How does body mass compare to BMR and mass-specific BMR in Mammals and Aves?
In mammals what correlation does being a strict carnivore have on BMR? What about herbivores and omnivores? This study is being conducted to see whether or not there is any correlation between the two.
Question and Hypothesis
Question being asked: Is there any link between diet and BMR in mammals? How do each of those diets and their BMR compare?
Hypothesis: The Body Mass of mammals and Aves has an affect on the BMR and mass-specific BMR. The BMR of mammals, is affected by each mammals the specific diet.
This questions is being asked because it is not clear from other questions that this has been answered or previously researched.
Approach
The hypothesis will be test through a series of charts and graphs created from collected data and then analyzed.
Discussion
1st Paragraph
Key findings
There is a correlation between body mass and BMR in both mammals and aves. There is are a negative correlation between Body mass and mass-specific BMR in both Mammals and aves.
The is a correlation between diet and BMR is mammals. Herbivores have the highest, then carnivores, and omnivores have the lowest.
Middle Paragraphs
Secondary findings
When comparing the average BMR of Mammals and aves, the mammals have the higher average BMR. However, when it came to comparing mass-specific BMR, aves had a higher average than mammals.
Strangely enough, Omnivores have the lowest BMR, one would think that technically being a mix between herbivores and carnivores they would rank somewhere in the middle, but the don't.
Compare the research from papers and journals.
Final concluding paragraphs
Summary
Explain why the data and findings are important, how the body mass and diet has and affect on a mammal or aves BMR and how that it in turn could have an affect on their life span.
How does the diet and BMR correlation of mammas compare to other groups? Aves? Reptiles?
Methods
Design
Independent Variable: Mammals and Aves and their body masses. Diets in Mammals.
Dependent Variable:Their BMR and mass-specific BMR.
Experimental Groups: Body masses and different diets (carnivores, herbivores, omnivores.)
Subjects
Mammals
Body mass, BMR, mass-specific BMR, and diets.
Aves
Body mass, BMR, and mass-specific BMR.
Materials
Quaardvark database. Various Research Papers/Journals.
Procedures
After some background was researched on BMR and how it is related to body mass and lifespan, data was then collected from a database. The data that was pulled compared body mass, BMR, mass-specific BMR, and the diets of Mammals and Aves.
Results
Paragraphs
Purpose: To compare results and explain and correlations between data for mass and BMR in Aves and Birds. Then compare data for the different diets of mammals. Herbivores have the greatest BMR, then carnivores, then omnivores. Throughly explain data and research.
Approach: used hypothesis-driven deductive reasoning.
Results: Compare findings in charts. Body mass has a positive correlation on BMR in mammals and aves. Diet affects BMR in mammals.
Figures and Tables
Include graphs and charts that analyze data. Scatter plots and bar graphs.
