... was positively correlated with adult mortality but not nest predation rates among 43 songbird species on three continents. Nest predation, but not adult mortality, explained additional variation in growth rates beyond metabolism. Our results suggest that metabolism may not be the mechanism underlying...

.... The temperature effects on growth rate and duration were exactly as expected because the strong and positive temperature dependency of biological rates translates into a high growth rate and a short growth duration at high temperatures within a population's thermal limits (e.g. Angilletta, 2009). In addition...

Both lines had comparable food consumption but the selected snails grew more efficiently and had lower metabolism early in ontogeny. Attainment of lower metabolism was accompanied by decreased shell production, indicating...
