Body size determines soil community assembly in a tropical forest.

Molecular Ecology, 2018
Tropical forests shelter an unparalleled biological diversity. The relative influence of environmental selection (i.e., abiotic conditions, biotic interactions) and stochastic-distance-dependent neutral processes (i.e., demography, dispersal) in shaping ...

Body Size Mediated Coexistence in Swans

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Differences in body sizes may create a trade-off between foraging efficiency (foraging gains/costs) and access to resources. Such a trade-off provides a potential mechanism for ecologically similar species to coexist on one resource.

The relationship between social network body size and the body size norms of Black and Hispanic adults

Preventive Medicine Reports, 2015
Objective: To examine the relationship between the body size norms of Black and Hispanic adults and the body sizes of their social network members. Methods: Egocentric network data were examined for 245 adults recruited from 2012–2013 in New York City. A

Shrinking body sizes in response to warming: explanations for the temperature–size rule with special emphasis on the role of oxygen

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2020
Body size is central to ecology at levels ranging from organismal fecundity to the functioning of communities and ecosystems. Understanding temperature‐induced variations in body size is therefore of fundamental and applied interest, yet thermal ...

Allowed response time and estimated average body size influence visual body size estimates

Acta Psychologica
Studies show that body size estimates exhibit a contraction bias wherein participants with a lower-than-average BMI overestimate their bodies while participants with a higher-than-average BMI underestimate.

Body Size and Cancer of the Testis [PDF]

Acta Oncologica, 1990
In the search for possible causes for the enormous increase in testicular cancer incidence in Denmark, we tested the hypothesis that a high fat or calorie intake in adolescence and consequently relative obesity is a promotional factor for testicular cancer. A total of 438 cases and three controls for each case were included in the study.

Body size and vocalization in primates and carnivores

Scientific Reports, 2017
A fundamental assumption in bioacoustics is that large animals tend to produce vocalizations with lower frequencies than small animals. This inverse relationship between body size and vocalization frequencies is widely considered to be foundational in ...

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...
