Dynamics of growth, death, and resource competition in sessile organisms
Edward D. Lee, Christopher P. Kempes, Geoffrey B. West
Population-level scaling in ecological systems arises from individual growth and death with competitive constraints. We build on a minimal dynamical model of metabolic growth where…
Predicting Whole Forest Structure, Primary Productivity, and Biomass Density From Maximum Tree Size and Resource Limitations
Christopher P. Kempes, Sungho Choi, William Dooris +1
In the face of uncertain biological response to climate change and the many critiques concerning model complexity it is increasingly important to develop predictive mechanistic fra…
Metabolic Rate Calibrates the Molecular Clock: Reconciling Molecular and Fossil Estimates of Evolutionary Divergence
James F. Gillooly, Andrew P. Allen, Geoffrey B. West +1
Observations that rates of molecular evolution vary widely within and among lineages have cast doubts upon the existence of a single molecular clock. Differences in the timing of e…
