In this special issue, we present a synthesis of work that consolidates what is currently known and provides a platform for future research.

متن کاملMetabolic scaling in animals: methods, empirical results, and theoretical explanations.
Life on earth spans a size range of around 21 orders of magnitude across species and can span a range of more than 6 orders of magnitude within species of animal. The effect of size on physiology is, therefore, enormous and is typically expressed by how physiological phenomena scale with mass(b). When b ≠ 1 a trait does not vary in direct proportion to mass and is said to scale allometrically. ...
متن کاملEditorial: Genetic Effects on Social Traits: Empirical Studies from Social Animals

Nowhere is this more evident than in the field of social insect research that is actively bridging the once-separate sub-fields of socioand molecular-biology (Linksvayer et al., 2012; Libbrecht et al., 2013; Kapheim et al., 2015; Rehan and Toth, 2...
