• Aerobic scope predicts dominance during early life in a tropical damselfish (2014, background): “When food is abundant, phenotypes with a high metabolic rate should have an advantage in terms of maximising growth (Burton et al. 2011).”
• Is oxygen limitation in warming waters a valid mechanism to explain decreased body sizes in aquatic ectotherms? (2018, background): “…435 that standard temperature-corrected physiological rates can vary significantly among 436 populations or even individuals within one population (Burton et al., 2011; Dmitriew, 2011) 437 and that adaptive evolution to new temperatures can occur within a few generations (Barrett 438 et al.,…”
• The optimal combination of standard metabolic rate and aerobic scope for somatic growth depends on food availability (2015, background): “Under this ‘increased intake’ hypothesis, SMR is expected to have a positive effect on fitness (Burton et al. 2011).”
• Stress Indicators in Fish (2016, background): “dependent link between metabolic rate with fitness, growth, or survival (Burton et al., 2011) Samples typically collected on”
• Differential plasticity of metabolic rate phenotypes in a tropical fish facing environmental change (2016, background): “These findings support the ‘con- text dependence’ hypothesis (Burton et al. 2011), which suggests that fitness advantages of a low- or high (resting)- metabolic rate changes with the quality of environmental conditions, bearing in mind that we did not asses fitness in the present study.”
• Personality and the pace‐of‐life syndrome: variation and selection on exploration, metabolism and locomotor performances (2013, background): “There is no clear consensus emerging from the literature about the causes of inter-individual variation in RMR and the relationship between RMR and activity (Careau et al. 2008, 2011; Réale et al. 2010; Burton et al. 2011).”
