Biological stoichiometry theory considers the balance of multiple chemical elements in living
systems, whereas metabolic scaling theory considers how size affects metabolic properties …

ABSTRACT A common, long‐held belief is that metabolic rate drives the rates of various
biological, ecological and evolutionary processes. Although this metabolic pacemaker view …

The root economics spectrum (RES), a common hypothesis postulating a tradeoff between
resource acquisition and conservation traits, is being challenged by conflicting relationships …

Rapid warming of the Mediterranean Sea threatens marine biodiversity, particularly key
ecosystems already stressed by other impacts such as Posidonia oceanica meadows. A 6 …

Body size is a decisive functional trait in many organisms, especially for phytoplankton,
which span several orders of magnitude in cell volume. Therefore, the analysis of size as a …

How will biodiversity loss affect ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and human well-
being? In an age of accelerating biodiversity loss, this timely and critical volume summarizes …

The scaling of metabolic rate with body mass has long been a controversial topic. Some
workers have claimed that the slope of log‐log metabolic scaling relationships typically …

In addition to answering Hutchinson's question “Why are there so many species?”, we need
to understand why certain species are found only under certain environmental conditions …

Coastal blue carbon refers to the carbon taken from atmospheric CO 2; fixed by advanced
plants (including salt marsh, mangrove, and seagrass), phytoplankton, macroalgae, and …

Photoinhibition is an inevitable consequence of oxygenic photosynthesis. However, the
concept of a 'photoinhibition‐proof'plant in which photosystem II (PSII) is immune to …
