- - - - A direct relationship will be observed between mass in BMR in both mammals and birds while an inverse relationship will be observed between mass-specific body mass and BMR in both mammals and birds
  - - - Mammals
      - Birds
    - - Analysis of pre-established actual data
- - - - Investigate the relationship between BMR, mass, and litter sizes within birds and mammals
  - - - An inverse relationship exists between mass-specific body mass and BMR in birds and mammals
        
        Mass-specific metabolic rate tend to decrease with increasing body size, as larger animals have lower mass-specific metabolic rates due to scaling in energy expenditure
    - - A direct relationship exists between litter size and BMR in placental mammals
        
        Species with larger litter sizes often invest more energy into reproduction, including gestation, lactation, and parental care (Sadowska et al., 2013). This increased reproductive effort may lead to a reduction in available energy for other metabolic processes, resulting in lower basal metabolic rates.
    - - A direct relationship exists between BMR and mass in mammals and birds?
        
        As the body mass of mammals increases, so does their metabolic rate (Kleiber's Law)
  - - - The dynamics of body mass and basal metabolic rate (BMR) unveil the compelling interplay between energy expenditure and physiological size across diverse organisms
  - - - Statistical analysis and comparison of variable data obtained from Quaardvark.
