Résumé :	The basal metabolic rate (BMR) and lower critical temperature (Tlc) of four Golden Plovers (Pluvialis apricaria) was measured with an open flow respirometer. BMR of the birds varied between 0.00681 and 0.00918 W g-1 (mean = 0.00748 W g-1) and the Tlc between 10.8 and 17.6 degreeC (mean = 14.8 degreeC). BMR of Golden Plovers fits well into an allometric formula estimated by KERSTEN and PIERSMA (1986) which was specially developed for waders.
