DOI: 10.1007/s10641-020-01009-z
Abstract: Life history strategies shape many aspects of species’ ecological importance and population demographics. For ectotherms, life history strategies are highly dependent on temperature, among other environmental conditions. With projected increases in global temperatures, understanding the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.7b03745
Abstract: Municipal wastewater effluent is a major source of aquatic pollution and has potential to impact cellular energy metabolism. However, it is poorly understood whether wastewater exposure impacts whole-animal metabolism and whether this can be accommodated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blaa026
Abstract: The general ability of components of an organism to work together to achieve a common goal has been termed integration and is often studied empirically by deconstructing organisms into component parts and quantifying covariation between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2017-0363
Abstract: Prior work has described a link between an individual’s metabolic rate and a willingness to take risks. One context in which high metabolic rates and risk-prone behaviors may prove to be maladaptive is in fish… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.178160
Abstract: ABSTRACT Suction-feeding fish rapidly expand the mouth cavity to generate high-velocity fluid flows that accelerate food into the mouth. Such fast and forceful suction expansion poses a challenge, as muscle power is limited by muscle… read more here.
