TL;DR: This work couple fine-grained climate projections to thermal performance data from 38 ectothermic invertebrate species and contrast projections with those of a simple model to show that projections based on mean temperature change alone differ substantially from those incorporating changes to the variation, and to the mean and variation in concert.

TL;DR: The scalings of metabolic rate, population growth rate, and production efficiency with body size have changed across the evolutionary transitions, showing Kleiber’s 3/4 power scaling law does not apply universally across organisms.

TL;DR: This framework provides a mechanistic and more unified understanding of the temperature dependence of trophic dynamics in terms of ecological rates, biomass ratios and stability and characterises key asymmetries in species responses to temperature that produce these distinct dynamic behaviours.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a macro ecological approach to integrate perspectives of physics, ecology, and economics with an analysis of extensive global data to show how energy imposes fundamental constraints on economic growth and development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 and carbon storage across the New Mexico Elevational Gradient, which consists of six eddy-covariance sites representing biomes ranging from desert to subalpine conifer forest.
