From: Energy expenditure and body temperature variations in llamas living in the High Andes of Peru
Relationship between field metabolic rate (FMR, measured using the doubly labelled water method) and body mass in herbivores. Data are from seven herbivores (black dots) published elsewhere (see text for details) and from the llama of the present study (black circles) at four different measurement periods under high Andean climatic conditions (4400 m a.s.l.). The regression line was derived using the phylogenetic least square approach, excluding the data from the llama. However, the maximum likelihood (ML) of lambda was 0 and thus the regression line represents an ordinary least square regression.
