The significance of body size in the Orthoptera: a review
DW Whitman - Journal of Orthoptera research, 2008 - BioOne
This review discusses body size and mass as they relate to the Orthoptera (crickets,
katydids, grasshoppers) and the Phasmatodea (walkingsticks). It addresses the expression …

Scaling of lunge‐feeding performance in rorqual whales: mass‐specific energy expenditure increases with body size and progressively limits diving capacity
Diving capacity generally increases with body size both within and among taxanomic groups
because of the differential scaling between body oxygen stores and metabolic rate. 2 …
