Body size and food size in freshwater zooplankton [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1984 We used double-label liquid scintillation techniques to measure the efficiencies with which eight different-sized zooplankton species ingested four cell types relative to a standard cell type ( Chlamydomonas ). Efficiency ratios (ERs: clearance rate on cell type X ÷ clearance rate on

Body size, inbreeding, and lifespan in domestic dogs
Conservation Genetics, 2019 Inbreeding poses a real or potential threat to nearly every species of conservation concern. Inbreeding leads to loss of diversity at the individual level, which can cause inbreeding depression, and at the population level, which can hinder ability to ...

Visual distortion of body size modulates pain perception [PDF]
, 2011 Pain is a complex subjective experience, that can be shaped by several cognitive, psychological and even contextual variables. For example, simply viewing the body reduces the reported intensity of acute physical pain.

Body size determines eyespot size and presence in coral reef fishes
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Numerous organisms display conspicuous eyespots. These eye‐like patterns have been shown to effectively reduce predation by either deflecting strikes away from nonvital organs or by intimidating potential predators.
