Standard metabolic rate (SMR), defined as the minimal energy expenditure required for self-
maintenance, is a key physiological trait. Few studies have estimated its relationship with …

Standard metabolic rate (SMR), maximum metabolic rate (MMR), absolute aerobic scope
(AAS) and critical oxygen tension (P crit) were determined for the Gulf killifish, Fundulus …

A longstanding focus in evolutionary physiology concerns the causes and consequences of
variation in maintenance metabolism. Insight into this can be gained by estimating the sex …

Widely observed allometric scaling (log–log slope< 1) of metabolic rate (MR) with body
mass (BM) in animals has been frequently explained using functional mechanisms, but …

Patterns of multilevel variation in behavior, both within and among individuals, raise
challenging questions about underlying mechanisms and the selective pressures acting on …

Among-individual variation in vital rates, such as mortality rates and birth rates, can generate
substantial diversity across individual life histories that scales up to influence population …
