Metabolic scaling in complex living systems
DS Glazier - Systems, 2014 - mdpi.com
In this review I show that four major kinds of theoretical approaches have been used to
explain the scaling of metabolic rate in cells, organisms and groups of organisms in relation …

Extensions of Island Biogeography Theory predict the scaling of functional trait composition with habitat area and isolation
Abstract The Theory of Island Biogeography (TIB) predicts how area and isolation influence
species richness equilibrium on insular habitats. However, the TIB remains silent about …

Cascading effects of forested area and isolation on seed dispersal effectiveness of rodents on subtropical islands
Habitat loss and fragmentation often leads to defaunation of large‐bodied mammals, and
their loss could trigger release from top‐down control or food resource competition for small …

Bird diversity on shelf islands does not benefit from recent land‐bridge connections
Aim Research in island biogeography has long focused mainly on present‐day island
configurations. Recently, there has been an increasing focus on islands' past histories of …
