Can metabolic traits explain animal community assembly and functioning?

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 Feb 2023

Brandl Simon J, Lefcheck Jonathan S, Bates Amanda E, Rasher Douglas B, Norin Tommy

Abstract excerpt

All animals on Earth compete for free energy, which is acquired, assimilated, and ultimately allocated to growth and reproduction. Competition is strongest within communities of sympatric, ecologically similar animals of roughly equal size (i.e. horizontal communities), which are often the focus of traditional community ecology. The replacement of taxonomic identities with functional traits has improved our...
