This review and data analysis outline how fish biologists should most reliably estimate the
minimal amount of oxygen needed by a fish to support its aerobic metabolic rate (termed …

Energy metabolism (encompassing energy assimilation, conversion and utilization) plays a
central role in all life processes and serves as a link between the organismal physiology …

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 …

This book provides a modern, synthetic overview of interactions between insects and their
environments from a physiological perspective that integrates information across a range of …

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 …

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 …

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

Valid and reliable experimental models are essential to gain insight into the cellular and
molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of exercise in prevention, treatment …

Summary 1 Time and energy are key currencies in animal ecology, and judicious
management of these is a primary focus for natural selection. At present, however, there are …

Life is the most complex physical phenomenon in the Universe, manifesting an extraordinary
diversity of form and function over an enormous scale from the largest animals and plants to …
