Knowledge of metabolic costs associated with maintenance, foraging, activity and growth
under natural conditions is important for understanding fish behaviours and the bioenergetic …

Field metabolic rate (FMR) is key to understanding individual and population-level
responses to environmental changes, but is challenging to measure in field conditions …

The fossil record provides the only direct evidence of temporal trends in biodiversity over
evolutionary timescales. Studies of biodiversity using the fossil record are, however, largely …

Otolith (ear stone) chemistry provides powerful insights into the lives of fish. Although
frequently used to reconstruct past environments, the influence of physiology remains …

Metabolic rate-the energy expenditure of an organism over time-is considered by some
ecologists to be the driver of all other ecological processes. Several theories seek to …

ABSTRACT A new record of a rare deep-water scorpionfish Ectreposebastes niger, is
described from the south-western Indian Ocean. This is the ninth record in the Indian Ocean …

Physiology underpins how species survive, reproduce and interact with their environment.
Many fish populations are difficult to directly monitor due to the vastness and complexity of …

Field metabolic rate (FMR) is key to understanding individual and population-level
responses to environmental changes, but is challenging to measure in field conditions …

Isoscapes are spatially explicit models describing isotopic variability due to spatial
differences in physical, chemical and biological processes across natural environments …
