Bryant, Sara River and McClain, Craig. 2022 Jun 2. Body size of life on Earth spans many orders of magnitude, and with it scales the energetic requirements of organisms. Thus, changes in environmen...
McClain, Craig R., Gullet, Taylor, Jackson-Ricketts, Justine, and Unmack, Peter J. 2012 Jan 10. Variation in chemical energy, i.e., food, availability is posited to cause variation in body size. However, examinations of the relationship are ra...
McClain, Craig R., Heim, Noel A., Knope, Matthew L., and Payne, Jonathan L. 2018 Jan 3. The quantity of biomass in an ecosystem is constrained by energy availability. It is less clear, however, how energy availability constrains taxono...
McClain, Craig R., Allen, Andrew P., Tittensor, Derek P., and Rex, Michael A. 2012 Sep 6. With frigid temperatures and virtually no in situ productivity, the deep oceans, Earth’s largest ecosystem, are especially energy-deprived systems....
McClain, Craig R., Durst, Paul A. P., Boyer, Alison G., and Francis, Clinton D. 2013 Jan 7. The island rule, a pattern of size shifts on islands, is an oft-cited but little understood phenomenon of evolutionary biology. Here we explore the...
McClain, Craig R., Nunnally, Clifton, Chapman, Abbie S.A., Barry, James P., and Chapman, Abbie S. A. 2018 Aug 22. Mechanisms leading to variation in diversity over energetic gradients continue to challenge ecologists. Changes in diversity may reflect the enviro...
Uyeda, Josef Christensen, Pennell, Matthew W., Miller, Eliot T., Maia, Rafael, and McClain, Craig R. 2017 Feb 14. Metabolism is the link between ecology and physiology—it dictates the flow of energy through individuals and across trophic levels. Much of the pre...
Saulsbury, James, Moss, David, Ivany, Linda, Kowalewski, Michal, Lindberg, David, Gillooly, James, Heim, Noel, McClain, Craig, Payne, Jonathan, Roopnarine, Peter, Schoene, Bernd, Goodwin, David, and Finnegan, Seth. 2019 May 9. Organismal metabolic rates reflect the interaction of environmental and physiological factors. Thus, calcifying organisms that record growth histor...
