Two widely tested empirical patterns in ecology are combined here to predict how the
variation of population density relates to the average body size of organisms. Taylor's law …

The prediction and management of ecosystem responses to global environmental change
would profit from a clearer understanding of the mechanisms determining the structure and …

Power laws are cornerstone relationships in ecology and evolutionary biology. The density-
