In this review I show that four major kinds of theoretical approaches have been used to
explain the scaling of metabolic rate in cells, organisms and groups of organisms in relation …

Both the slope and elevation of scaling relationships between log metabolic rate and log
body size vary taxonomically and in relation to physiological or developmental state …

Standard metabolic rate (SMR) and maximal metabolic rate (MMR) are fundamental
measures in ecology and evolution because they set the scope within which animals can …

Studies of plethodontid physiology were quite common in the 1960s, 1970s, and into the
early part of the 1980s. Since this time, studies of other aspects of plethodontid biology …

Interactions at all levels of ecology are influenced by the rate at which energy is obtained,
converted, and allocated. Trade-offs in energy allocation within individuals in turn form the …

Metabolism underpins all life‐sustaining processes and varies profoundly with body size,
temperature and locomotor activity. A current theory explains some of the size‐dependence …

The size of an organism is perhaps its most overt physical characteristic, and variation in
body size has long been of interest to biologists. Bergmann's rule has been actively studied …

Background Individuals within the same species often differ in their metabolic rates, which
may covary with behavioural traits (such as exploration), that are consistent across time …

Relationships between behavioral regulation, environmental temperatures, and
physiological tolerance are critical to conservation policy; however, these relationships may …

Responses by marine species to ocean acidification (OA) have recently been shown to be
modulated by external factors including temperature, food supply and salinity. However the …
