Scale dependent patterns of body size frequency distributions (BSFDs) have been explained by competition and an evolutionarily optimal body size in mammals. We test these ideas in a vertebrate group that is a model for...
Reproductive power is a contentious concept among ecologists, and the model has been criticized on theoretical and empirical grounds. Despite these criticisms, the model has successfully predicted the modal (optimal) size in...
Possession of unique defensive toxins by nonindigenous species may increase the likelihood of creating evolutionary traps for native predators. We tested the hypothesis that nonindigenous, toxic Cuban Treefrogs (Osteopilus...
