Consumer-resource body-size relationships in natural food webs. (2006, background): “Body size, one of the most fundamental character- istics of an organism, is linked to physical activities, such as locomotion, dispersal, and space use (Peters 1983, Jetz et al. 2004), to biological rates such as growth, Manuscript received 1 February 2006; revised 8 May 2006; accepted 9 May 2006.”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “ability for many species (Castle et al., 2011; Greenleaf et al., 2007; Haskell et al., 2002; Jetz et al., 2004; Leck, 1979; Lindstedt et al., 1986; Milton and May, 1976; Schaffer, 1981; Willis, 1979), and large species are often 1600”
Complex reef architecture supports more small‐bodied fishes and longer food chains on Caribbean reefs (2011, background): “to the metabolic scaling of energy acquisition (Jetz et al. 2004).”
Bee foraging ranges and their relationship to body size (2007, background): “Theoretical explanations for the relationship between body size and foraging distance continue to be debated (e.g., Haskell et al. 2002; Jetz et al. 2004; Kelt and Van Vuren 2001; Makarieva et al. 2005).”
Moving in the Anthropocene: Global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements (2018, background): “Second, an allometric scaling relationship shows that animals of greater body size usually move farther (12), and third, diet may influence movements due to differences in foraging costs and availability of resource types (13, 14).”
Large frugivorous birds facilitate functional connectivity of fragmented landscapes (2014, background): “In addition, trumpeter hornbills are the largest obligate frugivorous birds in South Africa, and large birds have on average larger home ranges than smaller birds (Jetz et al. 2004).”
Spatiotemporal behavioral plasticity of wild boar (Sus scrofa) under contrasting conditions of human pressure: primeval forest and metropolitan area (2013, background): “…range size: body size, sex, and age (McLoughlin and Ferguson 2000; McNab 1963; Mysterud et al. 2001), food abundance and distribution (Clutton-Brock and Harvey 1978; Taitt 1981), population density and social structure (Damuth 1981; Jetz et al. 2004), and risk of predation (Tufto et al. 1996).”
Cross-scale variation in species richness–environment associations (2011, result): “These results lend empirical support to the idea that variation in species fine-grained space-use may scale up to explain coarse-grained diversity patterns (Ritchie & Olff, 1999; Jetz et al., 2004).”
Body size in ecological networks. (2005, methodology): “The home-range size of animal species is predicted to scale as M1, and this is supported by field observations [ 58 ] .S pecies”
The broad‐scale ecology of energy expenditure of endotherms (2005, background): “…a crucial component for understanding processes such as the partitioning of energy across individuals and species (Damuth 1981; Allen et al. 2002; Jetz et al. 2004), the movement of energy through food webs (e.g. Lindeman 1942; Brown & Gillooly 2003), and even molecular evolution rates (Gillooly…”
Effects of sampling regime on the mean and variance of home range size estimates. (2006, background): “Most animals use the same areas repeatedly over time (Darwin 1861), hence animal movements are often defined using the home range concept (Tufto, Andersen & Linnell 1996; Crook 2004; Jetz et al. 2004; Anderson et al. 2005), where the home range is the area used by an animal over a given time inter”
