• Biogeography and evolution of body size in marine plankton (2006, background): “for maintenance, the allocation of surplus energy to growth and reproduction, and initial size (Kozlowski and Gawelczyk, 2002).”
• Why are there so many small plants? Implications for species coexistence (2006, background): “Even mobility aside, however, ‘the world is more spacious for small animals’ ( Kozlowski & Gawelczyk 2002, p. 421 ) because of the fractal nature of vegetation (see Morse et al . 1985).”
