Screenshot of the first page of the PDF of the Commentary, How can we best measure the energetic trade-offs faced by animals?, by Neil Metcalfe. The publishing information states: © 2025. Published by The Company of Biologists | Journal of Experimental Biology (2025) 228, jeb250303. doi:10.1242/jeb.250303.
