Extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes or oncosomes, often carry oncogenic
molecules derived from tumor cells. In addition, accumulating evidence indicates that tumor …

Little is known about how predators or their cues affect the acquisition and allocation of
energy throughout the ontogeny of prey organisms. To address this question, we have been …

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 …

According to the metabolic theory of ecology, metabolic rate, an important indicator of the
pace of life, varies with body mass and temperature as a result of internal physical …

Mangroves and lagoons are spawning and nursery grounds of marine fish. These
ecosystems are increasingly exposed to episodes of extreme temperatures from marine …

Temperature change affects biological systems in multifaceted ways, including the alteration
of species interaction strengths, with implications for the stability of populations and …

Metabolism drives various biological processes, potentially influencing the ecological
success and evolutionary fitness of species. Understanding diverse metabolic rates is …

Predator-induced changes in prey foraging can influence community dynamics by
increasing the abundance of basal resources via a trait-mediated trophic cascade. The …

Trade-offs between life-history traits offset the energetic costs of maintaining fitness in
complex environments. Ceratitis species have been recorded to have long lifespans, which …

Background The walnut aphid species Chromaphis juglandicola Kalt. and Panaphis
juglandis (Goeze) are destructive insect pests. Harmonia axyridis (Pall.)(Coleoptera …
