Population density and body size in mammals
  • J. Damuth
  • Environmental Science
    Nature
  • 23 April 1981
TLDR
Density is related approximately reciprocally to individual metabolic requirements, indicating that the energy used by the local population of a species in the community is independent of its body size.

Interspecific allometry of population density in mammals and other animals: the independence of body mass and population energy‐use
TLDR
It is suggested that rough independence of body mass and the energy-use of local populations is a widespread rule of animal ecology and community structure.

A Method for Analyzing Selection in Hierarchically Structured Populations
Individual fitness depends on the particular ecological, genetic, and social contexts in which organisms are found. Variation in individual context among subunits of a population thus raises…

Supply–demand balance and metabolic scaling
TLDR
It is shown that the ubiquitous 3/4 power law for interspecific metabolic scaling arises from simple, general geometric properties of transportation networks constrained to function in biological organisms.

Amazon Cone: Morphology, Sediments, Age, and Growth Pattern
The morphology, sediment distribution, and growth pattern of the Amazon cone are similar to those of other deep-sea fans; its sediment, at least during the late Quaternary Period, was deposited in…

Alternative formulations of multilevel selection
TLDR
It is argued that the “effect hypothesis” of macroevolution, requiring, in selection among species, both the absence of group effects on organismic fitness (multilevel selection) and the direct determination of species fitnesses by those of organisms, is untestable with paleontological data.

Miocene ungulates and terrestrial primary productivity: where have all the browsers gone?
TLDR
It is suggested that the early Miocene browser-rich communities may reflect higher levels of primary productivity in Miocene vegetation, compared with equivalent present-day vegetation types.
