A body composition model to estimate mammalian energy stores and metabolic rates from body mass and body length, with application to polar bears [PDF]
, 2009 Many species experience large fluctuations in food availability and depend on energy from fat and protein stores for survival, reproduction and growth. Body condition and, more specifically, energy stores thus constitute key variables in the life history
