Performance, personality, and energetics: correlation, causation, and mechanism
The study of phenotypic evolution should be an integrative endeavor that combines different
approaches and crosses disciplinary and phylogenetic boundaries to consider complex …

Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that occupy temperate and polar regions have specialized traits that help them
survive in harsh, highly seasonal environments. One particularly important adaptation is …

Repeatability of standard metabolic rate, active metabolic rate and aerobic scope in young brown trout during a period of moderate food availability
Standard metabolic rate (SMR) and active metabolic rate (AMR) are two fundamental
physiological parameters providing the floor and ceiling in aerobic energy metabolism. The …

Determinants of intra-specific variation in basal metabolic rate
M Konarzewski, A Książek - Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2013 - Springer
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) provides a widely accepted benchmark of metabolic
expenditure for endotherms under laboratory and natural conditions. While most studies …

A physiological perspective on fisheries‐induced evolution
There is increasing evidence that intense fishing pressure is not only depleting fish stocks
but also causing evolutionary changes to fish populations. In particular, body size and …

The repeatability of metabolic rate declines with time
CR White, NG Schimpf… - Journal of Experimental …, 2013 - journals.biologists.com
The evolutionary causes of variation in metabolic rate within and among species are a topic
of enduring interest. Variation between individuals is the raw material on which natural …

Total energy expenditure is repeatable in adults but not associated with short-term changes in body composition
Low total energy expenditure (TEE, MJ/d) has been a hypothesized risk factor for weight
gain, but repeatability of TEE, a critical variable in longitudinal studies of energy balance, is …

Thermoregulation in endotherms: physiological principles and ecological consequences
In a seminal study published nearly 70 years ago, Scholander et al.(Biol Bull 99: 259–271,
1950) employed Newton's law of cooling to describe how metabolic rates (MR) in birds and …

Associations between over‐winter survival and resting metabolic rate in juvenile North American red squirrels
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) varies considerably among and within species. Two central
questions in physiological ecology are whether values of RMR are repeatable and whether …
