Metabolic scaling is the product of life-history optimization
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 …

Thermal bottlenecks in the life cycle define climate vulnerability of fish
Species' vulnerability to climate change depends on the most temperature-sensitive life
stages, but for major animal groups such as fish, life cycle bottlenecks are often not clearly …

Shrinking body sizes in response to warming: explanations for the temperature–size rule with special emphasis on the role of oxygen
WCEP Verberk, D Atkinson, KN Hoefnagel… - Biological …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Body size is central to ecology at levels ranging from organismal fecundity to the functioning
of communities and ecosystems. Understanding temperature‐induced variations in body …

Impacts of historical warming on marine fisheries production
Climate change is altering habitats for marine fishes and invertebrates, but the net effect of
these changes on potential food production is unknown. We used temperature-dependent …

Origins and evolution of extreme life span in Pacific Ocean rockfishes
Pacific Ocean rockfishes (genus Sebastes) exhibit extreme variation in life span, with some
species being among the most long-lived extant vertebrates. We de novo assembled the …

Animal life history is shaped by the pace of life and the distribution of age-specific mortality and reproduction
Animals exhibit an extraordinary diversity of life history strategies. These realized
combinations of survival, development and reproduction are predicted to be constrained by …

The megabiota are disproportionately important for biosphere functioning
A prominent signal of the Anthropocene is the extinction and population reduction of the
megabiota—the largest animals and plants on the planet. However, we lack a predictive …

Smooth and spiky: the importance of variability in marine climate change ecology
Greenhouse gas emissions are warming the ocean with profound consequences at all
levels of organization, from organismal rates to ecosystem processes. The proximate driver …
