Whole-animal metabolic rate is a repeatable trait: a meta-analysis
TLDR
The cumulative meta-analysis revealed that repeatability studies in MR have already reached an asymptotical effect size with no further change either in its magnitude and/or variance (i.e. additional studies will not contribute significantly to the estimator).

Intrapopulational variation in the standard metabolic rate of insects: repeatability, thermal dependence and sensitivity (Q10) of oxygen consumption in a cricket
TLDR
The results suggest that MR could be of selective value in insects, showing consistency over time and intrapopulational variability in its thermal dependence, Nevertheless, its heritability remains to be determined.

When Nonshivering Thermogenesis Equals Maximum Metabolic Rate: Thermal Acclimation and Phenotypic Plasticity of Fossorial Spalacopus cyanus (Rodentia)
Many small mammals inhabiting fluctuating and cold environments display enhanced capacity for seasonal changes in nonshivering thermogenesis (NST) and thermoregulatory maximum metabolic rate (MMR).…

HERITABILITY OF ENERGETICS IN A WILD MAMMAL, THE LEAF‐EARED MOUSE (PHYLLOTIS DARWINI)
TLDR
Heritabilities of mb were near zero at all ages, but maternal effects and common environment effects were high and significant, and results are in general agreement with previous studies of mammals that reported low heritability for daytime body temperature; and body mass for wild, but not laboratory or domestic, populations.

Interplay among energy metabolism, organ mass and digestive enzyme activity in the mouse-opossum Thylamys elegans: the role of thermal acclimation.
TLDR
The results suggest that MMR is a rather rigid variable, while BMR shows plasticity, and it seems that T. elegans cannot respond to thermal acclimation by adjusting its processes of energy expenditure (i.e. thermogenic capacity and mass of metabolically active organs).
