Do consistent individual differences in metabolic rate promote consistent individual differences in behavior?
Consistent individual differences (CIDs) in behavior are a widespread phenomenon in
animals, but the proximate reasons for them are unresolved. We discuss evidence for the …

What causes intraspecific variation in resting metabolic rate and what are its ecological consequences?
Individual differences in the energy cost of self-maintenance (resting metabolic rate, RMR)
are substantial and the focus of an emerging research area. These differences may …

The optimal combination of standard metabolic rate and aerobic scope for somatic growth depends on food availability
Metabolic rates can vary as much as threefold among individuals of the same size and age
in a population, but why such variation persists is unclear given that they determine the …
