White paper: an integrated perspective on the causes of hypometric metabolic scaling in animals
Larger animals studied during ontogeny, across populations, or across species, usually
have lower mass-specific metabolic rates than smaller animals (hypometric scaling). This …

How might climate change affect adaptive responses of polar arthropods?
P Matheson, A McGaughran - Diversity, 2022 - mdpi.com
Climate change is expected to impact the global distribution and diversity of arthropods, with
warmer temperatures forcing species to relocate, acclimate, adapt, or go extinct. The Arctic …
