Filling a metabolism data gap in marine fish reveals dual pace-of-life and reproductive strategy axes
Resting metabolic rate, the basal energy required for an organism's maintenance, is central to predicting the eco-evolutionary consequences of environmental and anthropogenic pressures on marine ectotherms. Yet, direct measurements remain extremely scarce, covering less than 1% of marine fish species. Building on the Pace Of Life Syndrome (POLS) hypothesis, which posits a positive correlation…
