Effects of size and temperature on developmental timeJames F Gillooly
Department of Biology, The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131, USA
Nature 417:70-3. 2002..Development in other animals at other life stages is also described by this model. These results suggest a general definition of biological time that is approximately invariant and common to all organisms...
The rate of DNA evolution: effects of body size and temperature on the molecular clockJames F Gillooly
Department of Biology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:140-5. 2005..This model therefore links energy flux and genetic change. More generally, the model suggests that body size and temperature combine to control the overall rate of evolution through their effects on metabolism...
Effects of size and temperature on metabolic rateJ F Gillooly
Department of Biology, The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA
Science 293:2248-51. 2001..Temperature and body size are primary determinants of biological time and ecological roles...
The metabolic basis of whole-organism RNA and phosphorus contentJames F Gillooly
Department of Biology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:11923-7. 2005..The model provides a framework for linking attributes of individuals to the storage and flux of phosphorus in ecosystems...
Global biodiversity, biochemical kinetics, and the energetic-equivalence ruleAndrew P Allen
Department of Biology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA
Science 297:1545-8. 2002..These results establish a thermodynamic basis for the regulation of species diversity and the organization of ecological communities...
Ecological food webs: high-quality data facilitate theoretical unificationJames H Brown
Department of Biology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100:1467-8. 2003
The energetic basis of acoustic communicationJames F Gillooly
Department of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA
Proc Biol Sci 277:1325-31. 2010..These results also provide insights regarding the common energetic and neuromuscular constraints on sound production, and the ecological and evolutionary consequences of producing these sounds...
Temperature-dependence of biomass accumulation rates during secondary successionKristina J Anderson
Ecol Lett 9:673-82. 2006....
Scaling metabolism from organisms to ecosystemsBrian J Enquist
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721, USA
Nature 423:639-42. 2003..This presents an interesting paradox with regard to the expected temperature dependence. Nevertheless, our model provides a basis for quantitatively understanding energy and material flux between the atmosphere and biosphere...
Predicting natural mortality rates of plants and animalsMichael W McCoy
Department of Zoology, University of Florida, 223 Bartram Hall, PO Box 118525, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA
Ecol Lett 11:710-6. 2008..These results suggest that common 'rule(s)' govern mortality rates in ecological communities for organisms as diverse as plants and animals...
Effects of metabolic rate on protein evolutionJames F Gillooly
Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA
Biol Lett 3:655-9. 2007..These findings indicate that rates of protein evolution are largely controlled by mutation rates, which in turn are strongly influenced by individual metabolic rate...
Linking global patterns in biodiversity to evolutionary dynamics using metabolic theoryJames F Gillooly
Department of Zoology, 223 Bartram Hall, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611, USA
Ecology 88:1890-4. 2007
Changes in body temperature influence the scaling of VO2max and aerobic scope in mammalsJames F Gillooly
Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA
Biol Lett 3:99-102. 2007..Empirical data support the model's prediction. This model thus provides a potential theoretical and mechanistic link between BMR and VO2 max...
Scaling of number, size, and metabolic rate of cells with body size in mammalsVan M Savage
Department of Systems Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:4718-23. 2007..Our results and conceptual framework emphasize fundamental constraints that link the structure and function of cells to that of whole organisms...
Biological scaling: does the exception prove the rule?Brian J Enquist
1 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721, USA 2 The Santa Fe Institute, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501, USA
Nature 445:E9-10; discussion E10-1. 2007..Here we show that these conclusions misrepresent metabolic scaling theory and that their results are actually consistent with this theory...
Dinosaur fossils predict body temperaturesJames F Gillooly
Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA
PLoS Biol 4:e248. 2006..The model also successfully predicts observed increases in body temperature with body mass for extant crocodiles. These results provide direct evidence that dinosaurs were reptiles that exhibited inertial homeothermy...
Kinetic effects of temperature on rates of genetic divergence and speciationAndrew P Allen
National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, 735 State Street, Suite 300, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:9130-5. 2006....
