An endotherm has to eat more, relative to a poikilotherm of equivalent body mass, merely to maintain body temp.— The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future
Crossfertilization between these two approaches is a promising way of gaining mechanistic insight into the links between plant diversity and ecosystem processes and contributing to practical management for the conservation of diversity and ecosystem services. abiotic abudance abundance activity adaptation analysis aquatic assembly behaviour biodiversity biogeography biotic body_size body_size_distribution body_temperature climate climate_change community competition constraints detection_distance disease distribution ecology ecosystem_process ecotherm ectotherm endocrine endotherm endotherms endothermy energetic energy environment environment_trait evolution fecundity fitness foraging foraging_t foraging_theory fractal functional_trait generation genomics homeothermy individual interactions island_biogeography latitude light lizards locomotion mammals mechanical_effects mechanism metabolic_scaling metabolic_theory metabolism muscle network niche organisation paper_1 performance personality phylogeny physiology plant population_density protist protists review saltatory scaling size_scaling space stucture temperature theory time trait trophic trophic_theory turbidity velocity vertebrates vision zooplankton CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.— CiteULike: Everyone's library

From measurements of the incident light in nature it is calculated that in the natural habitats of all these owls the intensity of illumination must often fall below the minimum at which the birds can see their prey. abiotic abudance abundance activity adaptation analysis aquatic assembly behaviour biodiversity biogeography biotic body_size body_size_distribution body_temperature climate climate_change community competition constraints detection_distance disease distribution ecology ecosystem_process ecotherm ectotherm endocrine endotherm endotherms endothermy energetic energy environment environment_trait evolution fecundity fitness foraging foraging_t foraging_theory fractal functional_trait generation genomics homeothermy individual interactions island_biogeography latitude light lizards locomotion mammals mechanical_effects mechanism metabolic_scaling metabolic_theory metabolism muscle network niche organisation paper_1 performance personality phylogeny physiology plant population_density protist protists review saltatory scaling size_scaling space stucture temperature theory time trait trophic trophic_theory turbidity velocity vertebrates vision zooplankton CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.— CiteULike: Everyone's library
Finally, we are not arguing that abiotic parameters are necessarily more important than any of a group of multiple factors that may be involved in regulating community structure, only that they must be included as possible controlling variables in any complete study. abiotic abudance abundance activity adaptation analysis aquatic assembly basking behaviour biodiversity biogeography biotic body_size body_size_distribution body_temperature climate climate_change community competition constraints detection_distance development disease distribution ecology ecosystem_process ecotherm ectotherm endocrine endotherm endotherms endothermy energetic energy environment environment_trait evolution fecundity fitness food_web foraging foraging_t foraging_theory fractal function functional_trait gene_expression generation genomics homeothermy individual interactions island_biogeography latitude life light lizards locomotion mammals mechanical_effects mechanism metabolic_scaling metabolic_theory metabolism microbes moisture muscle network niche organisation paper_1 performance personality phylogeny physiology plant population_density protist protists review saltatory scaling size_scaling space specialist stability stucture temperature theory time trait trophic trophic_mismatch trophic_theory turbidity velocity vertebrates vision zooplankton CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.— CiteULike: Everyone's library
