Abstract

Recent conclusions that sets of observations representing adaptations of endotherms to environmental temperatures lack a general hypothetical base are shown not to be the case by relating groups of functional traits to common premises. Two general and testable hypotheses are identified fom a set of four observations originally thought to represent distinct hypotheses. The two general hypotheses involve different directions of change in standard metabolic rates.
