Island vertebrates have evolved a number of morphological, physiological, and life history characteristics that set them apart from their mainland relatives. However, to date, the evolution metabolism its impact on vulnerability extinction insular remains poorly understood. This study used metabolic data 2813 species tetrapod vertebrates, including 695 ectothermic 2118 endothermic species, reveal island mammals birds convergent strategies toward slow pace life. Insularity was associated with...
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic rapid warming has caused decreases in richness and body mass of birds following the metabolic theory ecology; yet, pervasiveness these shifts remains controversial among different taxa. Here, by combining phylogenetic methods fossil data, we synthesized spatial patterns for 328 seabird species belonging to two groups: Procellariimorphae (PM) non‐Procellariimorphae (NPM). We found that relationship between richness, as well diversification rate, exhibits distinct...
