- Hibernation and seasonal fasting in bears: the energetic costs and consequences for polar bears (2012, methodology): “Although McNab (2008) used metabolic rates measured during hibernation in polar bears, brown bears, and black bears in his original allometric equation, those metabolic rates were not used in the above equation.”
- Trends in body condition in polar bears (Ursus maritimus) from the Southern Hudson Bay subpopulation in relation to changes in sea ice (2016, background): “Loss of body mass, and therefore a decrease in BCI, is proportional to body temperature and metabolic expenditure (McCue 2010), and polar bear body temperature declines throughout the summer and fall seasons (Whiteman et al. 2015; Obbard unpublished data).”
- The multifaceted effects of starvation on arthropod behaviour (2016, background): “Such avoidance is common when animals invest in other activities, such as those related to reproduction or migration (McCue, 2010).”
- Towards a mechanistic understanding of the responses of large terrestrial mammals to heat and aridity associated with climate change (2016, background): “Nevertheless, in the face of sustained energy shortage, physiological and behavioural adjustments are required if large mammals are to defend body condition and ensure reproductive success [135].”
- Comparative Physiology of Fasting, Starvation, and Food Limitation (2012, background): “Further insights into the detailed physiology of these vertebrates can be found in previously published literature (e.g., McCue 2010) and the other chapters of this book.”
