Cell size, body size and Peto’s paradox
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Carcinogenesis is one of the leading health concerns afflicting presumably every single animal species, including humans. Currently, cancer research expands considerably beyond medicine, becoming a focus in other branches of natural science. Accumulating

Brain size, body size and longevity [PDF]
International Journal of Obesity, 2010 In this analysis, we bring together two research fields that have never been associated before: the clinical issue 'Quételet's body-mass index and longevity' and the comparative biological issue 'body-brain allometry'. Comparison of medical and biological data supports the view that body mass index is just a one-to-one mapping of the body-brain-energy ...

Stable body size of Alpine ungulates [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 In many species, decreasing body size has been associated with increasing temperatures. Although climate-induced phenotypic shifts, and evolutionary impacts, can affect the structure and functioning of marine and terrestrial ecosystems through biological

Scaling body size fluctuations [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 The size of an organism matters for its metabolic, growth, mortality, and other vital rates. Scale-free community size spectra (i.e., size distributions regardless of species) are routinely observed in natural ecosystems and are the product of intra- and interspecies regulation of the relative abundance of organisms of different sizes.

Big number, big body: Jersey numbers alter body size perception.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Vision has been shown to be an active process that can be shaped by top-down influences. Here, we add to this area of research by showing a surprising example of how visual perception can be affected by cognition (i.e., cognitive penetration).
