Intraspecific Versus Interspecific Scaling of Metabolic Rate: Tests of the Metabolic Theory of Ecology Across Biological Hierarchies [PDF]
BiologyThe Metabolic Theory of Ecology (MTE) proposes universal constants for the scaling of metabolic rate (BMR) with body mass and temperature. However, the validity of these constants across different biological hierarchies, specifically within versus ...

Faster Weight Growth in Invasive Mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki and Gambusia affinis (Poeciliidae) Under Climate Change [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki and Gambusia affinis (Poeciliidae) threaten native aquatic diversity globally. Climate change likely increases the body weight and alters the body condition of mosquitofish, resulting in higher invasive ability. The growth

Near isometric biomass partitioning in forest ecosystems of China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Based on the isometric hypothesis, belowground plant biomass (MB) should scale isometrically with aboveground biomass (MA) and the scaling exponent should not vary with environmental factors.

Tree Morphologic Plasticity Explains Deviation from Metabolic Scaling Theory in Semi-Arid Conifer Forests, Southwestern USA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 A significant concern about Metabolic Scaling Theory (MST) in real forests relates to consistent differences between the values of power law scaling exponents of tree primary size measures used to estimate mass and those predicted by MST.

Universal scalings of universal scaling exponents [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2007 In the last decades, renormalization group (RG) ideas have been applied to describe universal properties of different routes to chaos (quasi-periodic, period doubling or tripling, Siegel disc boundaries, etc). Each of the RG theories leads to universal scaling exponents which are related to the action of certain RG operators.

Rural to Urban Population Density Scaling of Crime and Property Transactions in English and Welsh Parliamentary Constituencies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Urban population scaling of resource use, creativity metrics, and human behaviors has been widely studied. These studies have not looked in detail at the full range of human environments which represent a continuum from the most rural to heavily urban ...
