Rate of tree carbon accumulation increases continuously with tree size (2014, background): “Mostallometricequationsarebroadlysimilar,relatinglog( M ) to log( D ) linearly, or nearly linearly—a familiar relationship in allometric scaling of both animals and plants 35 .”
Temperature dependency of metabolic rates in the upper ocean: A positive feedback to global climate change? (2018, background): “…the theoretical dependence of inorganic chemical reaction rates on temperature, multiple laboratory studies empirically showed the same for biological processes (e.g., Vernon, 1894, 1897; Ege and Krogh, 1914; Krogh, 1916; Shapley, 1920; Spoor, 1946; Eppley, 1972; Sibly et al., 2012 for a review).”
Representing the acquisition and use of energy by individuals in agent‐based models of animal populations (2013, background): “MTE assumes that resources are allocated in fixed proportions to maintenance, growth and reproduction, the same in all species (Sibly 2012).”
Where do functional traits come from? The role of theory and models (2019, background): “The fields of macrophysiology (Chown & Gaston, 2008), metabolic scaling (Sibly et al., 2012) and functional biogeography (Violle et al., 2014) are wholly concerned with how functional traits vary across body size and environment at different spatial and temporal scales, and what the eco-…”
Why are there so many species in the tropics? (2013, methodology): “The MTE has modelled explicitly and quantitatively the linkages between temperature, metabolic biochemistry, and physiological, ecological and evolutionary rates (e.g. Allen et al., 2002, 2006; Brown et al., 2004; Savage et al., 2004; Gillooly et al., 2005; Gillooly & Allen, 2007; Sibly et al., 2012”
