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...
