Global Analysis of Factors Affecting the Outcome of Freshwater Fish Introductions (2005, background): “They may, however, be inversely related to body size (Peters 1983; Savage et al. 2004), which was reported for all but 3 of 200 species (six cases; FishBase species table).”
Scaling from Traits to Ecosystems: Developing a General Trait Driver Theory via Integrating Trait-Based and Metabolic Scaling Theories (2015, methodology): “organismic size and the traits associated with metabolism will then influence individual performance (growth and resource use), and how these performance measures will then scale up to influence populations, communities, and ecosystems (Enquist et al., 1998, 2003, 2009; Savage et al., 2004; YvonDuro”
Systematic variation in the temperature dependence of physiological and ecological traits (2011, background): “Thermal responses are typically unimodal over the full temperature range, but many studies only record measurements for a restricted temperature range over which responses typically rise or fall monotonically (3, 4, 8).”
Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “…1994; van Kooten et al., 2004), physiology and life history (Sibly & Calow, 1986; Gilchrist, 1995; Ricklefs & Wikelski, 2002; Voituron et al., 2002; Savage et al., 2004; Frazier et al., 2006; Lardies & Bozinovic, 2006), physiology and population dynamics (Lynch & Gabriel, 1987; Kingsolver, 1989;…”
Linking the global carbon cycle to individual metabolism (2005, methodology): “1998; Savage et al .”
Predicting marine phytoplankton maximum growth rates from temperature: Improving on the Eppley curve using quantile regression (2008, background): “Size (Savage et al. 2004) and taxonomic affiliation (Banse 1982), for example, may explain much of the remaining variation in mmax among phytoplankton.”
Species abundance distributions: moving beyond single prediction theories to integration within an ecological framework. (2007, background): “Abundance is clearly an important measure, but perhaps biomass, resource use (roughly biomass to the power; Savage et al. 2004) or percent cover is more relevant (Chiarucci et al. 1999).”
Bridging the gap from ocean models to population dynamics of large marine predators: A model of mid-trophic functional groups (2010, background): “, 2002), or similarly between weight of organisms and the growth rate of their population (Fenchel, 1974; Savage et al., 2004).”
