Consistent among-individual variation in behavior is widespread and often has consequences for fitness. However, the mechanistic basis of repeatable variation in behavior is less understood. Metabolic
A series of data on the species composition of sessile invertebrate communities at different successional stages, community total mass and metabolism. In addition, there are species-specific metabolic
The data and R scripts used in the Ibis paper entitled "Global diversity and adaptations of avian eggshell thickness indices" by Attard and Portugal 2022 are within the zipped file. A description of e
The West-Brown-Enquist (WBE) metabolic scaling theory posits that many organismal features scale predictably with body size because of selection to minimize transport costs in resource distribution ne
To understand why avian eggs are so variable in colour and patterning, we investigated contemporary species that provide insights into the evolutionary transitions that occurred during the early radia
