DESCRIPTION:With their predictable life-histories and tractabi
 lity\, seabirds make excellent models for studies 
 of energy metabolism. Using examples from the lite
 rature\, field work on macaroni penguins at Bird I
 sland and studies of seabirds in Australia\, this 
 seminar will address what leads to variability in 
 field metabolic rate at the inter-specific and int
 ra-specific levels. I will discuss limits to metab
 olism in terms of theory on optimal and maximal ra
 tes of energy expenditure\, and the role of the ‘p
 rudent parent’. Finally I will talk about how an u
 nderstanding of field metabolic rate can help us t
 o predict the impacts of environmental change and 
 understand differences between individuals in thei
 r phenotypic quality
