Disentangling biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning: deriving solutions to a seemingly insurmountable problem (2003, background): “BEF research has focused on local or within-site variation in biodiversity (Naeem 2001; Bengtsson et al. 2002; Bond & Chase 2002; Chase & Leibold 2002) and has ignored commonness and rarity (Schwartz et al. 2000).”
Beyond the ‘3/4‐power law’: variation in the intra‐and interspecific scaling of metabolic rate in animals (2005, unknown): “…vascular networks, are the primary causes of the scaling of metabolism, and that ecological allometries are secondary results of this physiological scaling (see also Brown & West, 2000; Belgrano et al., 2002; Brown et al., 2003, 2004b ; Dobson et al., 2003; Enquist, 2003; Savage et al., 2004a, b).”
Scaling-up from nutrient physiology to the size-structure of phytoplankton communities (2006, unknown): “…of 1.6 to 0.75 are in agreement with the range of values observed in field observations for phytoplankton and other autotrophs as well as range of heterotrophs (Damuth, 1981; Bonner, 1988; Tittel et al., 1998; Boss et al., 2001; Cavender-Bares et al., 2001; Damuth, 2001; Belgrano et al., 2002).”
Linking the global carbon cycle to individual metabolism (2005, background): “Predicted, dashed lines have slopes of 0 eV (a); Er ‐ Ep = 0·33 eV (b); ‐Ep = − 0·32 eV (c); ‐Er = −0·65 eV (d) (Table 1). Fig. 2. Effects of body size on (a) carbon storage (compilation of woody, herbaceous and marine plant community data in Belgrano et al. 2002 ); (b) turnover in plant communitie”
Indirect climatic forcing of the Barents Sea capelin: a cohort effect (2004, background): “…the field of macroecology (see e.g. Brown & Maurer 1989)—a field which until now has been primarily exercised within the field of terrestrial ecology, and only recently been adopted for marine systems (e.g. Stevens 1996, Attrill et al. 2001, Belgrano et al. 2002, Li 2002, Smith & Brown 2002).”
On the Generality of the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient (2004, background): “Alternatively, body mass allometrically scales to metabolic rates (Peters 1983; Enquist et al. 1998), development time (Gillooly et al. 2002), and to population density (Allen et al. 2002; Belgrano et al. 2002).”
Bridging the gap from ocean models to population dynamics of large marine predators: A model of mid-trophic functional groups (2010, methodology): “Empirical data also suggest allometric relationships between abundance per unit area and body size (or weight) both in terrestrial and marine systems (e.g., Sheldon et al., 1972; Kerr, 1974; Enquist et al., 1998; Belgrano et al., 2002), or similarly between weight of organisms and the growth rate of”
Interaction strengths in food webs: issues and opportunities (2004, background): “the most fundamental process underlying trophic interactions, metabolism (West et al. 1997;1West et al. 1999; Belgrano et al. 2002; Sterner & Elser 2002).”
Phytoplankton in a changing world: cell size and elemental stoichiometry (2010, background): “The intercept and exponent varies with environmental conditions (Agustí et al., 1987; Agustí, 1991b; Vidal and Duarte, 2000; Boss et al., 2001; Belgrano et al., 2002; Irwin et al., 2006) Trophic interactions The body size of the consumer is often correlated with the size of prey consumed; larger…”
Application of macroecological theory to predict effects of climate change on global fisheries potential (2008, background): “Empirical studies of allometric relationships in macroecology (e.g. abundance-body size relationship) have reported inconsistent values of scaling exponents (e.g. Blackburn & Gaston 1997, Belgrano et al. 2002 ).”
