Many birds and mammals drastically reduce their energy expenditure during times of cold
exposure, food shortage, or drought, by temporarily abandoning euthermia, ie the …

We present a consolidated view of the complexity and challenges of designing studies for
measurement of energy metabolism in mouse models, including a practical guide to the …

Organisms use energy to grow and reproduce, so the processes of energy metabolism and
biological production should be tightly bound. On the basis of this tenet, we developed and …

Restricting the intake of calories has been practiced as a method for increasing both the
length and quality of life for over 500years. Experimental work confirming the success of this …

The accuracy of predictive models (also known as mechanistic or causal models) of animal
responses to climate change depends on properly incorporating the principles of heat …

The relationships among species' physiological capacities and the geographical variation of
ambient climate are of key importance to understanding the distribution of life on the Earth …

As the world overheats—potentially to conditions warmer than during the three million years
over which modern humans evolved—suffering from heat stress will become widespread …

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 …

Despite many decades of research, the allometric scaling of metabolic rates (MRs) remains
poorly understood. Here, we argue that scaling exponents of these allometries do not …

Many large marine predators make excursions from surface waters to the deep ocean below
200 m. Moreover, the ability to access meso-and bathypelagic habitats has evolved …
