The study of phenotypic evolution should be an integrative endeavor that combines different
approaches and crosses disciplinary and phylogenetic boundaries to consider complex …

In this review I show that the '3/4-power scaling law'of metabolic rate is not universal, either
within or among animal species. Significant variation in the scaling of metabolic rate with …

Understanding the impacts of activity on energy balance is crucial. Increasing levels of
activity may bring diminishing returns in energy expenditure because of compensatory …

The first photographs of the Earth to be taken from outer space are said to have had a
profound influence on how humanity perceives its place in the Universe. They provided a …

In this paper we show how animal personality could explain some of the large inter‐
individual variation in resting metabolic rate (MR) and explore methodological and …

The Flexible Phenotype attempts a true synthesis of physiology, behaviour, and ecology by
developing an empirical argument that describes the intimate connections between …

The direct effects of physical activity interventions on energy expenditure are relatively small
when placed in the context of total daily energy demands. Hence, the suggestion has been …

Why are sustained energy budgets of humans and other vertebrates limited to not more than
about seven times resting metabolic rate? The answer to this question has potential …

Organ structures and correlated metabolic features (eg metabolic rate) have often taken as
fixed attributes of fully grown individual vertebrates. When measurements of these attributes …
