I need info on Active Consumption Rates (ACR, i.e. weight of food consumed per unit time of active feeding, e.g. g/min or kg/h; see Wilmers & Stahler 2002 Canadian Journal of Zoology 80:1256-1261 for further details) for several bird and mammals species (complete list attached).
I would very much appreciate info on: i) species' ACRs or, ii) how to infer them (from body mass, species gregariousness,...)
Thank you very much in advance!
ACR is means equal to intake responses -IR-? There's a lot of information about IR for mammals and birds. Check Carlos Martinez del Rio publications list.
This is a good source:
