Corrosion degradation is detrimental to metal structures as it shortens their lifetime and
leads to huge economic losses and unexpected disasters. Therefore, the detection and …

Under most circumstances heart rate (fH) is correlated with the rate of oxygen consumption
(V˙ o2) and hence the rate of energy expenditure or metabolic rate (MR). For over 60years …

Overweight and obesity result from an imbalance between caloric intake and energy
expenditure, including expenditure from spontaneous physical activity (SPA). Changes in …

Once-abundant aerial insectivores, such as the Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), have
declined steadily in the past several decades, making it imperative to understand all aspects …

Objectives We quantified the effect of environmental temperature on mouse energy
homeostasis and body temperature. Methods The effect of environmental temperature (4 …

A theoretically valid proxy of energy expenditure is the acceleration of an animal's mass due
to the movement of its body parts. Acceleration can be measured by an accelerometer and …

Life on earth spans a size range of around 21 orders of magnitude across species and can
span a range of more than 6 orders of magnitude within species of animal. The effect of size …

Characterizing heat tolerance is critical for predicting an organism's vulnerability to climate
warming. Recent studies of ectotherms report that impacts of climate warming are expected …

Varroa destructor is one of the biggest threats to honey bee populations worldwide. Three
classes of disparately acting acaricidal compounds are currently used to combat …

For many organisms, constraints on activity increase energetic costs, which ultimately
reduce the suitability of a particular habitat. Mechanistic species distribution models often …
