Metabolic rate and foraging behaviour: A mechanistic link across body size and temperature gradients
The mechanistic link between metabolic rate and foraging behaviour is a crucial aspect of
several energy‐based ecological theories. Despite its importance to ecology however, it …

Cross-validation of δ15N and FishBase estimates of fish trophic position in a Mediterranean lagoon: the importance of the isotopic baseline
FishBase, a relational database freely available on the Internet, is to date widely used as a
source of quantitative information on the trophic position of marine fish species. Here, we …

Temperature and predator cues interactively affect ontogenetic metabolic scaling of aquatic amphipods
V Gjoni, A Basset, DS Glazier - Biology Letters, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
A common belief is that body mass scaling of metabolic rate results chiefly from intrinsic
body-design constraints. However, several studies have shown that multiple ecological …
