Most explanations for the relationship between body size and metabolism invoke physical
constraints; such explanations are evolutionarily inert, limiting their predictive capacity …

Alterations in cell number and size are apparently associated with the body mass
differences between species and sexes, but we rarely know which of the two mechanisms …

According to the metabolic theory of ecology, metabolic rate, an important indicator of the
pace of life, varies with body mass and temperature as a result of internal physical …

Seed choice in seed-feeding omnivorous carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) is
influenced by numerous ecological factors, including the chemical and physical properties of …

An insect's capacity to survive winter is critical for range expansion in temperate regions.
The Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) is a polyphagous wood-boring …

The rate at which organisms metabolize resources and consume oxygen is tightly linked to
body mass. Typically, there is a sub-linear allometric relationship between metabolic rates …

Background Individuals within the same species often differ in their metabolic rates, which
may covary with behavioural traits (such as exploration), that are consistent across time …

Simple Summary Evaporative water loss during metabolic gas exchange is an unavoidable
cost of living for terrestrial insects. This respiratory water cost of gas exchange (the ratio of …

The conventional allometric method entails fitting a straight line to logarithmic
transformations of the original bivariate data and then back‐transforming the resulting …

Ceratina calcarata mothers choose their nesting location and that choice can have
developmental consequences for their offspring. Nests in the sun experience higher …
