These practicals assume you have familiarized yourself with the methods introduced in the Beginning Tutorials section. Here, you will learn about more in-depth methods for evaluating an animal’s energetics and metabolics, which concern an animal’s physical and chemical energy costs as it exhibits a variety of behaviors. This field of study further aids in understanding the feeding requirements, efficiencies, physical health, and behavior trends of an animal as it relates to its cost of transport.
