Summary results. A), estimated maintenance metabolic rate without fasting (MRWF: log-transformed); B), respiration quotient (RQ: exp-transformed); C), Exploration (Exploration: BOX-COX transformed) and D), risk-taking ("0" for coming out of the shelter and "1" for not coming out). ** Statistically significant P value (P < 0.01). The box plots include five messages: “minimum” (Q1 minus 1.5*IQR), first quartile (Q1/25th percentile), median (Q2/50th percentile), third quartile (Q3/75th percentile) and "maximum" (Q3 plus 1.5 IQR), which are respectively represented by the nadir of the central line, the bottom line of the box, the middle line of the box, the top line of the box, and the peak point of the central line. Points above Q3 or under Q1 represent outliers. IQR is an abbreviation of interquartile range (the distance from the 25th to the 75th percentile)
