Scaling relationships (where body size features as the independent variable) and power-law
distributions are commonly reported in ecological systems. In this review we analyze scaling …

The spatial scale of animal space use, eg measured as individual home range size, is a key
trait with important implications for ecological and evolutionary processes as well as …

Trade-offs and constraints are inherent to life, and studies of these phenomena play a
central role in both organismal and evolutionary biology. Trade-offs can be defined …

Human-driven environmental changes shape ecological communities from local to global
scales. Within cities, landscape-scale patterns and processes and species characteristics …

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 …

Mammalian carnivores fall into two broad dietary groups: smaller carnivores (< 20 kg) that
feed on very small prey (invertebrates and small vertebrates) and larger carnivores (> 20 kg) …

Habitat fragmentation and land conversion by humans for agricultural purposes are constant
threats to conservation of biodiversity in the Cerrado biome. These landscapes dominated …

We tested the prediction that home range area and dispersal distance in mammals are
related when considered independently of body size. Regression of log‐transformed data …

Scaling laws that describe complex interactions between organisms and their environment
as a function of body size offer exciting potential for synthesis in biology,,,. Home range size …

Although many studies employ allometric relationships to demonstrate possible
dependence of various traits on body mass, the relationship between home range size and …
