Biological energy transduction underlies all physiological phenomena in cells. The
metabolic systems that support energy transduction have been of great interest due to their …

BACKGROUND Obesity is caused by an imbalance between energy intake, ie eating and
energy expenditure (EE). Severe obesity is more prevalent in women than men worldwide …

We develop a Bayesian mixed linear model that simultaneously estimates single-nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability, polygenicity (proportion of SNPs with nonzero …

Biologists have long appreciated the critical role that energy turnover plays in understanding
variation in performance and fitness among individuals. Whole-organism metabolic studies …

Basal or standard metabolic rate reflects the minimum amount of energy required to
maintain body processes, while the maximum metabolic rate sets the ceiling for aerobic …

There is increasing interest in documenting and explaining the existence of marked
intraspecific variation in metabolic rate in animals, with fishes providing some of the best …

ABSTRACT A common, long‐held belief is that metabolic rate drives the rates of various
biological, ecological and evolutionary processes. Although this metabolic pacemaker view …

Metabolic rate reflects an organism's capacity for growth, maintenance and reproduction,
and is likely to be a target of selection. Physiologists have long sought to understand the …

Despite many decades of research, the allometric scaling of metabolic rates (MRs) remains
poorly understood. Here, we argue that scaling exponents of these allometries do not …

The number of studies investigating links between among-individual differences in
metabolic rate (MR) and behavior has grown dramatically in the past several years. A major …
