Journal ArticleDOI
Basal metabolic rates in mammals: taxonomic differences in the allometry of BMR and body mass.
Virginia Hayssen,Robert C. Lacy +1 more
TL;DR: Interordinal comparisons of least squares regressions of log-transformed BMR and mass suggest that the Insectivora have a significantly steeper slope to their allometric relationship than do most other orders, while the non-insectivore orders are statistically homogeneous with respect to slope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frugivory and seed dispersal by vertebrates in the Oriental (Indomalayan) Region
TL;DR: Most seeds in the Oriental Region, except near its northern margins, are dispersed by vertebrate families which are endemic to the region or to the Old World.
Journal ArticleDOI
The scaling and temperature dependence of vertebrate metabolism.
TL;DR: There is no universal metabolic allometry and models that attempt to explain only quarter-power scaling of metabolic rate are unlikely to succeed, according to compiled SMR measurements for 938 species spanning six orders of magnitude variation in mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size and power in mammals.
TL;DR: This paper shows that the 2/3 mass exponent is not the physiological problem of interest, but its location in the mass/power plane, that must be explained, which is given by the value of the mass coefficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Torpor during Reproduction in Mammals and Birds: Dealing with an Energetic Conundrum
Bronwyn M. McAllan,Fritz Geiser +1 more
TL;DR: Current knowledge about those heterothermic mammals that do not express torpor during reproduction are summarized and, in contrast, thoseheterothermic birds and mammal species that do use torporDuring reproduction are examined.
