Doubly Labelled Water

The use of doubly labelled water has enjoyed exponential growth over the last decade. This book acts as a handbook for anyone using, or considering using this technique. The text is divided into three parts. Part one is a brief introduction to energetics, particularly those aspects which are relevant to doubly labelled water studies. Part two is a comprehensive review of underlying theory. Part three contains detailed instructions of the applications and practise of doubly labelled water techniques. This book should be of interest to research workers and advanced students in evolutionary adaptation, ecology and nutrition.
