Surviving changing climate conditions is particularly difficult for organisms such as insects
that depend on environmental temperature to regulate their physiological functions. Insects …

Basal or standard metabolic rate reflects the minimum amount of energy required to
maintain body processes, while the maximum metabolic rate sets the ceiling for aerobic …

Climate change is impacting ecosystems worldwide. Estuaries are diverse and important
aquatic ecosystems; and yet until now we have lacked information on the response of …

Maximum (aerobic) metabolic rate (MMR) is defined here as the maximum rate of oxygen
consumption (O2max) that a fish can achieve at a given temperature under any ecologically …

There is increasing interest in documenting and explaining the existence of marked
intraspecific variation in metabolic rate in animals, with fishes providing some of the best …

Although correlations have frequently been observed between specific physiological and
behavioural traits across a range of animal taxa, the nature of these associations has been …

The study of phenotypic evolution should be an integrative endeavor that combines different
approaches and crosses disciplinary and phylogenetic boundaries to consider complex …

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 …

Rates of aerobic metabolism vary considerably across evolutionary lineages, but little is
known about the proximate and ultimate factors that generate and maintain this variability …
