We developed new methods for parameter estimation-in-context and, with the help of 125 authors, built AmP (Add-my-Pet) database Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) models, parameters and referenced underlying data animals, where each species constitutes one entry. The combination DEB covers all aspects energetics throughout full organism's life cycle, from start embryo development to death by aging. species-specific values capture biodiversity can now, first time, be compared between animals...
Summary 1. Dynamic energy budget (DEB) models describe how individuals acquire and utilize energy, can serve as a link between different levels of biological organization. 2. We the formulation testing DEB models, show dynamics individual organisms to molecular processes, population dynamics, (more tenuously) ecosystem dynamics. 3. offer mechanistic explanations body‐size scaling relationships. 4. constitute powerful tools for applications in toxicology biotechnology. 5. Challenging...
Whereas it is acknowledged that the C:N:P stoichiometry of consumers and their resources affects both structure function food webs, eventually influences broad-scale processes such as global carbon cycles, mechanistic basis for variation in has not yet been fully explored. Empirical evidence shows specific growth rate positively related to RNA concentration between within taxa unicellular multicellular organisms. Since rich P constitutes a substantial part total organisms, high also...
Summary Models of the regulatory behaviour organisms are fundamental to a strong physiologically‐based understanding species' responses global environmental change. Biophysical models heat and water exchange in (biophysical ecology) nutritionally‐explicit for feeding its fitness consequences (the Geometric Framework nutrition, GF) providing such an underpinning. However, temperature, nutrition interact ways influencing organism their environment, priority is develop integrated approach...
Abstract The use of traits is growing in ecology and biodiversity informatics, with initiatives to collate trait data integrate it into databases. A need develop better predictive capacity for how species respond environmental change has part motivated this focus. Functional are most interest—those a defined link individual survival, development, growth reproduction. Non‐trivial challenges arise immediately deciding which functional prioritise characterise them. Here we discuss the...
