We focus on the e ect of co-trimoxazole on the colonial organization of P. dendritiformis. We nd that the exposure to non-lethal concentrations of antibiotic...

Body size and temperature are fundamental drivers of ecological processes because they determine metabolic rates at the individual level. Whether these drivers act independently on individual-level metabolic rates remains uncertain. Most studies of intraspecific scaling of unitary organisms must rely on preexisting differences in size to examine its relationship with metabolic rate, thereby pot...
