The evolution of intrinsic growth rate has received less attention than other life history traits,
and has been studied differently in plants, homoiotherms, and poikilotherms. The benefits of …

Temperature affects everything that an organism does. Although we have an increasingly
sophisticated understanding of evolutionary adaptation to temperature at the molecular level …

Sea temperatures in many tropical regions have increased by almost 1° C over the past 100
years, and are currently increasing at~ 1–2° C per century. Coral bleaching occurs when the …

We examined published studies relating resting oxygen consumption to body mass and
temperature in post‐larval teleost fish. The resulting database comprised 138 studies of 69 …

Squid, cuttlefish and octopuses, which form the marine mollusc group the cephalopods, are
of great and increasing interest to marine biologists, physiologists, ecologists, environmental …

Zooplankton storage lipids play an important role during reproduction, food scarcity,
ontogeny and diapause, as shown by studies in various oceanic regions. While …

This important volume provides an original synthesis and novel overview of Antarctic fish
biology, detailing the evolution of these fish in some of the most unusual and extreme …

First published in 1993, The Biology of the Southern Ocean has been referred to as
international research at its best and an invaluable reference. Drawing on the considerable …

Animals living in the Southern Ocean have evolved in a singular environment. It shares
many of its attributes with the high Arctic, namely low, stable temperatures, the pervading …

The metabolic rates (oxygen uptake, ammonia excretion, phosphate excretion) of epipelagic
marine zooplankton have been expressed as a function of body mass (dry, carbon, nitrogen …
