The “covariation method” for estimating the parameters of the standard Dynamic Energy Budget model II: Properties and preliminary patterns (2011, methodology): “We have not yet included data that allow the estimation of the surface-linked somatic maintenance cost ṗT f g and set it equal to zero, although this may be estimated through coupling DEB models with biophysical models of heat transfer for endotherms (Kearney et al., 2010; Porter and Kearney, 2009).”
Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, methodology): “Functional trait analysis has been applied broadly to plant communities (e.g. McIntyre et al., 1999), but less frequently to vertebrates (e.g. Porter & Kearney, 2009), freshwater invertebrates and soft-bodied soil organisms (Poff et al., 2006; Hedde et al., 2012), and rarely to terrestrial…”
Behavior and nutritional condition buffer a large‐bodied endotherm against direct and indirect effects of climate (2014, background): “…sensitive to warm temperatures, and can develop high internal heat loads relatively easily because thick boundary layers and small surface-to-volume ratios reduce rates of heat loss to the environment (Porter and Gates 1969, Renecker and Hudson 1986, Cain et al. 2006, Porter and Kearney 2009).”
Predicting organismal vulnerability to climate warming: roles of behaviour, physiology and adaptation (2012, methodology): “The width and position of the TNZ partly reﬂect measurement conditions, but mainly reﬂect the size, shape and pelage of the endotherm, and its ability to control heat loss through postural adjustments, fur or feather erection and altered blood ﬂow [26,61].”
Heat freezes niche evolution. (2013, background): “Nonetheless, biophysical approaches are demonstrating that a limited suite of traits can readily characterize important aspects of the fundamental niche, and that many of these have to do with thermal biology (Porter & Kearney 2009; Kearney et al. 2010).”
Hypervolume concepts in niche‐ and trait‐based ecology (2018, background): “Indeed, recent process-based models have shown that fundamental niches often emerge as nonlinear functions of several measurable trait and environment variables (Hoogenboom and Connolly 2009, Porter and Kearney 2009).”
Hutchinson's duality: The once and future niche (2009, background): “Finally, some regions of the fundamental niche may not correspond to any contemporary biotope (42, 47, 48).”
Estimating body mass of free‐living whales using aerial photogrammetry and 3D volumetrics (2019, background): “…rate and food requirements (Kleiber, 1947), but also its growth (Calder, 1982), fasting endurance (Millar & Hickling, 1990), thermo-regulation (Porter & Kearney, 2009), foraging capacity (Brose, 2010), home range size (McNab, 1963), locomotion and cost of transport (Garland, 1983; Irschick &…”
