- Reposted by Lisandrina MariNew paper out!! In this review, we discuss what really is SMR when we take into account the sleep state dependent partitioning of the processes that make up this baseline value, and how do we move forward with the assumption SMR isn't a static value..... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

- Reposted by Lisandrina Mari🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.

- Reposted by Lisandrina Mari🧵THREAD: (1/7) Standard metabolic rate (SMR) is one of biology's most measured traits. We argue it isn't the constant baseline it's assumed to be. Our preprint discusses how sleep-wake cycles create a 'metabolic mosaic' that requires us to rethink how we interpret SMR. ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...
