Body size shifts influence effects of increasing temperatures on ectotherm metabolism

Riemer, Kristina; Anderson-Teixeira, Kristina J.; Smith, Felisa A.; Harris, David J.; Ernest, S. K. M. (2018)

Aim Warmer temperatures directly increase metabolic rates of ectotherms, but temperature also indirectly affects metabolic rates. Higher temperatures result in smaller body sizes and associated decreases in metabolic rates, ...

White, E. P.; Ernest, S. K. M.; Adler, Peter B.; Hurlbert, A. H.; Lyons, Sara K. (2010)
The maximum rate of mammal evolution

Evans, Alistair R.; Jones, David; Boyer, Alison G.; Brown, James H.; Costa, Daniel P.; Ernest, S. K. M.; Fitzgerald, Erich M. G.; Fortelius, Mikael; Gittleman, John L.; Hamilton, Marcus J.; Harding, Larisa E.; Lintulaakso, Kari; Lyons, Sara K.; Okie, Jordan G.; Saarinen, Juha J.; Sibly, Richard M.; Smith, Felisa A.; Stephens , Patrick R.; Theodor, Jessica M.; Uhen, Mark D. (2012)

How fast can a mammal evolve from the size of a mouse to the size of an elephant? Achieving such a large transformation calls for major biological reorganization. Thus, the speed at which this occurs has important implications ...
