Abstract: Abstract The growth-rate hypothesis (GRH) says that fast-growing organisms have relatively high P content and lower N:P ratios because they need more P-rich ribosomal RNA (rRNA) to fuel increased protein-synthesis. However, there is a lack… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The growth rate hypothesis (GRH) posits that variation in organismal stoichiometry (C:P and N:P ratios) is driven by growth‐dependent allocation of P to ribosomal RNA. The GRH has found broad but not uniform support… read more here.
