Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

The Impact of Carbon Pricing on Corporate Sustainability: Evidence From the European Union
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The European Union (EU) has played a leading role in the fight against climate change. One mechanism used to meet the targets for global greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions is carbon pricing. A prominent example is the EU Emissions Trading System (EU‐ETS).
