Combining physiological and morphological measures in the laboratory with registrations of detailed measures of field activity, we tested the hypothesis that individual activity patterns correlate with individual metabolism and morphology as proposed by several conceptual models. We found no evidence indicating an effect of metabolism, whereas morphology correlated with several activity measures.
