This blog post is provided by Pedro Pequeno and Douglas Glazier and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Divergent evolution of colony-level metabolic scaling in ants”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, Pequeno and Glazier investigate variation in the metabolisms of ant colonies, revealing similar metabolic principles to those observed at the individual level. Metabolism and body size: … Continue reading A rule for ant colony metabolism… Or many
